Engineered
products have become a popular and often necessary
choice for many construction and renovation projects.
Their advantages range from decreased installation
times to an increase in span options. The consistent
quality of engineered products as well as increased
design possibilities continue to strengthen their
desirability.
DJ Jackson’s designs,
produces and delivers a superior product backed
by first-class customer service. All components
are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed
current Building Code Standards and arrive on
site with a Professional Engineer’s Seal,
simplifying not only the construction phase, but
inspections as well.

Jackson’s also offers 2 types of engineered
open web floor joists. These joists are custom designed,
engineered and manufactured for your specific project.
Every project is carefully reviewed to determine
the most appropriate and cost effective joist while
at the same time exceeding current Building Code
Standards.
Posi-Strut
The Posi-Strut open metal web floor system
is available in depths ranging from 9 ¼”
to 16”, the most popular being the 11 ¼”
and 14” product. The variety of depths allow
for the joists to match most conventional or engineered
lumber products.
The open web concept eliminates the need for cutting
and drilling for electrical, plumbing and ventilation
systems, allowing for quicker installation saving
time and money. The wide nailing surface makes its
faster and easier to install floor sheathing.
As an added feature the Posi-Strut floor joist can
be designed with a trimmable end
giving the installer greater flexibility when necessary
Wood Web
The open wood web floor system is the ultimate
in pre-engineered floor design. Plated in the same
method as a pre-engineered roof truss, the joist
can be manufactured to any depth allowing for clear
spans other pre-engineered floor systems cannot
match.
Much like the Posi-Strut, the open wood web requires
no cutting or drilling for electrical, plumbing
and ventilation. Wider nailing surface makes for
easier and quicker floor sheathing installation. |

All
products produced and supplied by DJ Jackson’s
come complete with engineer stamped drawings for
permit application, installation and inspection
purposes.
Many municipalities require specific information
on both roof and floor systems in order to grant
a construction permit, be it new construction, a
garage, or a renovation. Some departments will only
require this paperwork upon the framing inspection.
Each individual building department has their own
regulations and requirements and should be consulted
prior to the order of any engineered products to
ensure that the appropriate paperwork is made available.
Engineered drawings are included in the pricing
that you receive for your project. In the case where
paperwork is required prior to the order of product,
there may be a fee charged which would be fully
refunded upon order of product. Go

The
advent of engineered products in construction has
lead to an increase in design options for both the
builder and the homeowner. In most cases, aesthetic
details and storage options can and should be considered
as a part of your roof construction.
Many garage designs allow for additional storage
to be realized within the trusses, be it with a
full sized room, or designated storage space in
between the webs of a truss. Both of these options
must be accounted for by the truss designer, so
if this idea appeals to you, be sure to make mention
when you request pricing. We are happy to offer
you designs and prices both with and without these
options.
For interior spaces, ceiling details can add drama
and a sense of space to a room with very little
difficulty. Vaulted, raised and tray ceilings are
a popular option in foyers, great rooms and master
bedrooms.
