Check that the supports are level using a steel rule, check the deck is not warped by holding it flat and towards a low light and looking with your eye seeing down both sides, if the deck os bowed / warped this is easily solved, if the deck supports are wonky then I personally would use P38 on top of the supports and sand down carefully. Others may not agree but that is my opinion :-))

Hi Wallace,
What type of deck is it?
How big, what model?

Does it have complex curves. In other words does it have a shear (curve from front to back) as well as a camber (sloped from the centre to edges)?

A picture of the problem can also provide more answers, if you can post a couple that would be great.

Hi Wallace.

I am not the expert on here.

It would probably be best if you can post the pics on here.
Then you can get the benefit of Mayhems more experienced builders.

Don't worry about feeling embarrassed if you have done something wrong, we have all been there.
