DryJoistEZ and Wahoo Rail Selected by Whitcher Builders | Wahoo Decks - April 1, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Gainesville, GA (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Wahoo Decks, a leading manufacturer of award winning outdoor decking products announced today that Whitcher Builders will be using DryJoistEZ (US Pat No. 8,276,344), a structural deck drainage system that provides the structure of the deck, a waterproof solution and a finished ceiling with a traditional beadboard appearance, as well as Wahoo Rail, for its second phase of multi-level Oceanside condos in Hampton, New Hampshire.

When it came to building Sea Spray Condos it was important that Stuart Mitchell, operation manager of Whitcher Builders, find an application that was economical and easy to install. Mitchell stated, We looked at a lot of different options and DryJoistEZ worked out to be the most economical for the application. The main reason we found it to be economical is the ease of installation.

In addition to the ease of installation, Whitcher Buliders also chose DryJoistEZ for its watertight beadboard appearance for the Sea Sprays multi-level condo balconies.

Both the decks and walkway required that they not allow for water to drip through as the space below each deck and walkway was another deck and walkway. Because of the design we found that the DryJoistEZ system was the most economical way to accomplish this design criteria, said Mitchell. Since DryJoistEZ serves triple duty as the structure of the deck, a finished ceiling and a waterproofing solution, Whitcher Builders was able to accomplish the design criteria of the balconies on the project in one step.

For railing on the Sea Spray Project, Whitcher Builders decided to go with Wahoos aluminum railing, Wahoo Rail. The reasoning behind the Wahoo Rail was simply because it is designed to work with DryJoistEZ . . . it is architecturally pleasing and very easy to install, said Mitchell.

Wahoo Rail powder-coated, aluminum railing will not rot, splinter or warp over time. The Wahoo Rail on the Sea Spray project was pre-assembled at the Wahoo factory and shipped directly to the job site in complete panel sections. The factory, pre-assembly option for the rail is just another example of Wahoo Decks' determination to reduce cost on the install side for decks and balconies in multi-family applications.

Whitcher Builders has selected DryJoistEZ and Wahoo Rail as its go to product for balcony applications. We are doing another project on the books where we will be using Wahoo Decks products as well, said Mitchell.

Total Fence Inc., Torontos Premier Custom Fence and Deck Installer, Comments on Importance of Professional … - April 1, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Total Fence Inc. (http://www.TotalFenceInc.ca), the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial fence and deck installation in the Greater Toronto Area, is releasing an expert opinion on why customers need to have their decks installed professionally following a recent case in the United States that saw people injured after a faulty deck collapsed.

It may be tempting to cut corners and have a family member who is skilled in carpentry install your deck or simply do it yourself, but with the risks that having your deck improperly installed carry, its far safer to have a professional do it, says Tony Defeo, owner of Total Fence Inc.

Defeo cites a recent case in Indiana in the U.S., where several members of a family were injured after their deck collapsed during a Christmas gathering. Twenty-five people were hurt in the collapse with broken bones and neck and spine injuries after the deck fell into a concrete patio. The injured parties are now suing the homeowners association and builders for damages and lost wages. (Sources: Deck collapse victims sue homeowners group and builder, Courier-Journal.com, February 25 2014; http://archive.courier-journal.com/article/20140225/NEWS02/302250091/Deck-collapse-victims-sue-homeowners-group-builder; Bowdan, A., Video shows New Albany deck collapse at New Albany subdivision, WLKY.com, February 25, 2014; http://www.wlky.com/news/local-news/indiana-news/video-shows-new-albany-deck-collapse-at-new-albany-subdivision/24668140.)

This is a perfect example of why we recommend that our clients have their deck installed by trained professionals, he notes. At Total Fence Inc., we will take the time to ensure that your deck is carefully constructed, secured to the house, and 100% safe for use. If youre planning to have a lot of gatherings on your deck this summer, knowing that you can have many people on your deck is reassuring.

When installing a deck, Total Fence Inc. not only makes sure that it is properly secured to the home, but that it also has proper supports. Defeo notes that they employ only the best fence and deck professionals in the business and follow all industry rules and regulations for installing fences. Total Fence Inc. also uses the best and most durable material to construct decks and fences withthey make their decks to last.

When it comes to something like having your deck installed, its just far safer to hire professionals, Defeo concludes. We have years of experience installing decks and know what it takes to construct safe decks that last.
