Unloading Steel Roll and Steel Decking

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the top questions about metal decking material and ordering from Structuarl Deck.

View All FAQs

  • How do you calculate concrete for a metal form deck?

    That answer isn’t always the same. Check out our Form Deck Specs document for more details.

  • How much overlap should I allow when ordering my length?

    A minimum of 2″ of overlap is required but we recommend 6″ of overlap.

  • Can I choose a custom sheet width?

    B Deck and Form Deck don’t have custom width options available. It provides 36″ wide coverage which is standard in the industry. However, you can choose a custom length.

  • How do I fasten the decking to my structure?

    Attaching decking is a time-consuming process that requires a good level of accuracy. While some of our customers choose to attach decking using self-tapping screws, we highly recommend using the Hilti nailer method, particularly on larger projects.

    The Hilti Stand-up Handle enables workers to efficiently and accurately attach sheets of decking from an ergonomic upright position as opposed to bent over and manually screwing.

    Screw Locations

    Attaching B-deck and Form deck to either a structural steel beam or bar joist, we recommend using the Hilti DX-9 HSN and DX-9 ESP for each structural support respectively. Remember that you will need to use the appropriate fastener type in each application.

    Screw Overlap

    For attaching sheets of B-deck and FD (Form) deck with a Hilti Stand-up Handle, you must use the red strip Hilti #10 HWH screws to attach the sheets while standing on the upper decking panel. In the diagram, that means standing on the right side for B-deck and on the left for Form deck. Standing on the upper panel applies force to the overlap ensuring a clean connection.

  • What is your return policy?

    We do not accept returns due to all of the metal decking being cut to custom lengths.
