Natural Wood Spacing Tip
It's really a personal preferance. You can choose to go with a spacer if want to pregap your boards or a no spacer. We are findng that when no spacers are used the deck boards shrink about 1/16". This is on the field testing we have completed, and from contractor feedback. Alot of people prefer this while others would prefer to pregap the deckboards. There is no wrong way to install treated or cedar boards, just whatever your preferance may be.
