It is designed to help prevent moisture from becoming trapped between timber components by increasing air circulation. After installing (screwing) the decking boards, the distance meter prevents decking from expanding, which gives the good deck stability.Freely movable spacers are placed between the already screwed and the still to be screwed terrace boards when assembling the wooden terrace. Another important advantage of BASO is that the screws are no longer subject to shear deformation and bending loads.

There is no need for additional fixing of the BASO spacers, as they are simply placed on the joists and screwed with a wood screw while screwing the decking boards. Contractors assisting unloading should be aware of health and safety issues and must wear appropriate PPE.

The spacer creates a 6 mm gap between the decking boards and the joists, which improves the ventilation of the deck and prevents excess water. It is best to always place a decking joint holder at the intersection of decking boards and substructure. With one of these intermediate distances, you are always right, whatever type of decking board you use. Even during terrace construction, these prevent the gaps between the joints from being of different widths.

The handy Multi-Spacer Decking Tool makes quick work of accurately spacing Millboard Decking boards at 3, 4, 5 or 6mm gaps. The DECKINGTOOL takes care of these in one easy to use tool, setting the gap between the boards at 7mm.With dry softwood decking boards, keep a minimum distance of 10 mm, with wet decking boards we recommend keeping a minimum distance of 7-8 mm. After you have straightened the first decking board, simply lay the rest of the decking planks straight on the first plank. At the same time, the ‘Millboard Multi-Spacer’ allows accurate spacing of any of the four most popular board spacings using just the ONE spacer tool. Made from reinforced thermo-plastic with UV light and frost protection, the Protective Spacer Strip is supplied in 10m rolls which are simply rolled out along the joists and cut to length. Tip: use the spacer again where the screws go, so you know that the board has the correct distance between them.
