Herringbone Deck Pattern

A herringbone pattern needs board spacing and joist alignment planned out before the first board goes down, since the zigzag only looks right if the angles stay consistent across the whole deck. ArcSite's herringbone deck pattern template lays that spacing out for you, ready to adjust to your own deck size.

Key Features

This herringbone deck pattern includes

  • Symmetrical board layout for balanced alignment
  • Dimensional guides for board spacing
  • Joist and support placement aligned to the pattern
