You should think really carefully before you use these rather than timber.
The only good thing about them is the durability.
Other than that they are not straight and bend uncontrollably in the sun, produce lots of unpleasant swarf, are 3 times as heavy as timber, 3 times as expensive and need predrilling and I suspect are very unsustainable.
Merchant Response Dear Tim, many thanks for taking the time to review the Cladco Recycled Plastic Joists you recently purchased. Our customer's experience with products is of paramount importance and allows us to delve into the usability and practicality of the products we stock.
The Cladco Recycled Plastic Joists are made from 100% recycled plastic, using shredded down post-consumer plastic which is melted and formed into moulds. This also makes the product recyclable, so reducing waste going into landfill from production to end of life.
Unfortunately, these joists for decking won't be pre-drilled due to the probable need to cut them to size, making pre-drilled holes redundant, as you're likely to find with any type of joist. I hope these answer your questions and look forward to helping you on your next project.
Kind regards, the Travis Perkins Team
