Hi

 

Here are a couple of examples I use for building and edging curved decks. The spider web structure allows you to run joist supports close to the edge of the curve without subsequent sagging.

I use a stainless steel band fixed to the joist ends to neatly conceal and protect them. A steel stockholder/fabricator can cut the steel into strips that are the same depth as your joists, a quick and cost effective solution. Cheers

 

 

 

 

thanks for that...its exactly what i needed a picture says a thousand words. Does the deck boards actually fit onto the steel? Or is that to finish it off

Hi Simon, the steel band is fitted to the joist ends at your determined radius to conceal the structure of the deck. Use flat head stainless steel screws, marine grade 316 are best as they won't subsequently stain. You can clean any fingerprints etc off the steel using any stainless steel cleaner or baby oil!

 

I can send you detailed construction steps that are easy to follow if you wish. The critical one is to make sure your centre marker rod cannot move during the work and don't remove it until the last deck board is fitted:001_smile:

 

Thanks to you all for the compliments.

I was impressed with a curved decking path I saw at Whangeri tourist info center in NZ last December. It was a wiggle, I remember looking but I didnt take a photo sorry
