Outdoor Duckboards

If you're joining your slats with threaded rods, use 1/2" diameter rods with two nuts and small washers at each location where the rod passes through a slat. This will provide the right amount of between-the-slats spacing and keep the nuts from sinking into the slat wood when the nuts are tightened.

Important note: If you're not making your duckboards from pressure-treated lumber or water-resistant woods, be sure to apply a waterproofing stain (and exterior-grade topcoat, if desired) to all slats BEFORE they're assembled.
