“Wood lasts almost forever if it’s kept dry, and that’s the premise behind a patented system of deck building accessories by ROT-NOT® Deck Protection System. It’s as simple as it is effective.”

The largest formation of water, ice and snow can be found against the house
Ledger Cap
|
• The extended arm provides a shoulder, that once caulked, stops the water from reaching and settling against the house and gathering at the main deck anchors
• Increased volume of moisture at this location results in additional oxygen that has been proven to accelerate the deterioration of the fasteners and contribute to wood rot
“Changes in the preservative-treated wood industry since the beginning of 2004 have created concerns.”
SOLPLAN REVIEW, the independent journal of energy conservation, building science & construction practice July 2005
“We now recommend Rot•Not® joist cap to every customer. It’s a small price to pay for rot protection.”

Single Joist Cap
Protects the most vulnerable locations of your new deck or re-decking construction
• The patented design ensures that the main joist system remains protected against moisture and foliage, which collects at the deck spacing causing rot
• Protects against water wicking where wood-to-wood contact is made
• While shedding water that may form on the joist caused by rain or snow, its patented design provides a channel allowing wood to breathe
• As fasteners (nails or screws) go through the planking, they penetrate through the joist cap. The memory of the PVC, and the friction of the
fasteners, heat seals the plastic
• The entire DECK PROTECTION SYSTEM® is designed to eliminate water
penetration therefore increasing the life expectancy and overall performance of your new deck project.

Post Protector
Saddle
• Provides excellent protection at the bearing point of the post and underside of the beam
• Provides a saddle for your beam, making installation struggle free
• The beam sits on top of the pier in a compression condition, which is stronger than hanging the beam on the pier (suspension condition). This is especially important due the newly created corrosion issues associated with ACQ lumber
