MacBrace

The MacBrace is a simple component that allows the MacDeck system to become totally free standing when built in line with manufacturer guidelines. This means that the MacDeck system can be erected without supporting walls – this is a common requirement in today’s housing market with low level living spaces at single story and protruding porches.

Macdeck FAQ

However, please bare in mind the joists may not be able to sustain the leg load imposed when the decking system is fully loaded.
