Construction Heart or Construction Common 2×6 decking should be nailed to joists which are spaced no more than 24 inches on center. Joist spans vary according to the dimension used and the joist spacing. For example, typical 2×8 Construction Heart joists spaced 24 inches on center can span 8 feet 9 inches between support beams.
