Suspended floors The BRANZ Technical Helpline often receives queries for designing and building suspended timber floors and dealing with uplift Nine of the most common questions are answered here Figure 1 Suspended timber floor joistHollow floors, also known as suspended or timber floors, are simply timber joists suspended across and supported by load bearing walls under the floor The ends of these timber joists are built into, or suspended by joist hangers from the external walls of the property There are suspended concrete floors but we do not cover these here as they are more typically used inSpacing joists in your shed 16inches on center will give you a firmer feel with less bounce and increase the load capacity of the floor While you may be OK with the joist span at 24 inches the floor will be maxed out to the limits Many other factors and considerations can arise when constructing your first shed, below are some of the

What is the spacing for deck joists
What is the spacing for deck joists- One of the most common claims are squeaky timber floors Deflection in suspended floors is often caused by inadequate joists or joists at incorrect centres In this article, we will take a look at what engineered joists are, their disadvantages and problems as well as what you should look out for onsite and alternative solutions Figure 2 Suspended timber floor with floorboards removed For most heritage properties, the most effective and appropriate way to insulate a suspended floor and improve its airtightness is to retrofit insulation beneath the floorboards, between the supporting joists (figure 2) See our detailed installation guide for more details

As with the joist size, the building code for your structure will stipulate the proper spacing between floor joists The code itself is determined by the engineering requirements of a particular building Normally, floor joists are spaced 16 inches apart on center This means from the center of one upright joist to the center of the next Given that 2x8s are actually 1¾ inches
