Benefits of using plastic packers under composite, timber and aluminium joists:

1. Moisture protection: Plastic packers can prevent direct contact between timber joists and the supporting surface, helping to minimise the risk of moisture absorption by the wood. This extends the lifespan of the decking structure.

2. Reduced ground contact: Using plastic packers under joists protects the wood from direct contact with the ground, reducing the risk of rot, moisture build-up, and insect and fungal attack.

3. Maintaining stability: Plastic packers help distribute the load evenly between the joists and the supporting surface, which can be particularly important on unstable or uneven surfaces.

4. Easy installation: Fitting plastic packers under joists is usually quick and straightforward, speeding up the decking construction process. They can be easily adapted to different joist sizes and ground conditions.

5. Weather resistance: Plastic packers are usually made from weather-resistant materials, meaning they do not corrode or rot. This makes them a durable solution that does not require frequent maintenance.

6. Height adjustment: In some cases, plastic packers can be used to adjust the height of joists, which is useful on uneven ground or when the height of the decking structure needs to be adjusted.

7. Reduced friction: Plastic packers can help reduce friction between timber joists and the supporting surface, which can be particularly important where structural elements move or vibrate.

8. Help with levelling: Plastic packers make it easier to level the decking by allowing packing to be added under the joists.
