What metal frame for timber decking?

Is it possible to buy a metal frame to attach wood decking?

Re: wood decking on metal frame.

Hi @GEOFFBALL,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

There are metal decking systems such as Steel-Deck or this Quick Built 3.6 x 1.2m Modular Steel Deck that can be used with timber decking.

 

The only real difference is the fixings you would use to attach the decking boards. Instead of a timber decking screw, you would use a metal decking screw like these Simpson Strong-Tie 4.8 x 50mm 10g Metal Decking Screws.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
