Quick question, I have pressure treated hemlock 4 x 12 25’ for my balcony stringers. I applied water seal decking on the top of the stringers where the railing is attached. Is there anything that you would suggest with protecting the stringers from rot and sun damage? Great content, appreciate all the work you’re putting into the channel.

Can I assume that this tape is slightly cushioning, and helps to reduce wood on wood squeaking?

Your videos are great! UV resistance? How fast will this tape degrade in direct sunlight in the pacific northwest (not for a deck but for rehab of ailing structures to get more life out of them)?

If you're spending $15K-$20K on a damn deck, why the hell wouldn't you do everything you possibly can to avoid paying that kind of money again before it's absolutely necessary?

Instead of tape, Armadillo makes a plastic joist cover that fits over the top of a joist. Just tape the joints. Not sure if screws cause it to leak though. Will know soon.

I don't see how that would protect the lumber. I would have to believe water would find it's way in. Use a perma-column and quit putting pt lumber in the ground.

Great video Dr Deck. For Azek PVC (not composites) is the tape material compatible with the PVC material?

Good God, I have SCOURED the internet trying to find what tape is compatible with AZEK. Even Timbertech doesn't make it clear if Timbertech tape is compatible with AZEK. WTF! Currently, I think GTape -- which I believe is acrylic-based -- is compatible with AZEK. I even saw Dr.Decks using GTape with AZEK in one of his videos. If you find the definitive answer, PLEASE let me know.

Here in Australia we’ve got this thin rubber on a roll with wings on it You basically roll it along and put a stubby broad head 10 mm nail every 1 m or so It costs about a dollar a metre... it’s called “protectadeck” and for whatever reason timbertek joist tape hardly used... don’t think I could Buy it if my life depended on it sometimes in specific areas where the rain really comes in you can use paint on bitumen paint on the wood plus some 0.3 mm aluminium flashing that’s coated in bitumen plus a bit of the rubber stuff between those three things you’re doing pretty good
