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
- Adaptable spacing for different deck sizes
The joist placement is aligned to the herringbone angles rather than a standard on-center grid, worth double-checking against your own framing before you commit to board spacing.
Key Considerations When Designing a Herringbone Deck Pattern
A herringbone layout needs joists placed to support the pattern's angles, not just a standard on-center grid, which is where a lot of DIY herringbone decks go wrong. In ArcSite, you can adjust this herringbone deck pattern's board spacing and joist alignment to fit your own deck dimensions.
