A Joist Cradle is a structural support designed to securely hold and elevate joists in decking or flooring systems. It helps evenly distribute weight, prevents movement, and ensures stability during installation. Joist cradles are commonly used in raised decking systems to provide a secure foundation while allowing for proper ventilation and drainage underneath.
This design not only enhances the stability of the joist, but also allows connections to be made over larger spans, providing greater flexibility.
When the joist cradle is placed on the pedestal, it has a tighter bond with the joists and simply uses nails to hold the joists in place, creating a more secure and stable surface no matter the environment. Both are durable and durable.
