Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the top questions about metal decking material and ordering from Structural Deck.
View All FAQsCan I use 22 gauge B Deck for mezzanine floors?
We recommend that 22ga B Deck be used for roof decking only. This gauge is not optimal for mezzanine decking applications, especially when fastening wood flooring with screws, due to this lighter gauge.
Can I store my metal decking outside?
It is recommended that all metal decking be shipped to the job site under a tarp and then stored out of the elements to avoid corrosion or surface rust.
This is especially important with White Bottom decking as surface rust from moisture shows up very quickly if left outside. We recommend that all decking be stored off the ground with one end elevated.
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.
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.
B-deck
FD (Form) Deck
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 does a square of decking mean?
A “square” of decking refers to 100 square ft of any type of decking.
What type of Roof Deck do you offer?
We offer 1-1/2″ B-Decking in either 20 or 22 gauge which is commonly used for commercial roofing applications spanning across purlins, joists, or other support members.
