How is Steel Deck Made and Shipped?

Steel decks are created by cold-forming structural-grade sheet steel into a repeating pattern of parallel ribs. The strength of the panels results from the shape of the ribs and the steel’s material properties. When receiving 1.3” form deck, proper access to the structure must be available for the deck delivery. The material should be checked as it is received, and the bill of lading should count bundles.

Steps for Properly Storing Form Deck

Once you’ve received your form deck products, the deck bundles should be stored off the ground, with one end elevated to prevent drainage. Bundles should be protected against condensation and moisture with a ventilated waterproof covering. Bundles should be stacked so that there is no danger of tipping, sliding, rolling, or shifting of material damage. Properly secure the tarp to prevent blow-off and protect the form deck product. If galvanized form deck products are stored outside, you may notice some oxidation on the surface. This will not affect the structural integrity of the steel. Upon request, the D-MAC Industries team can help you take precautions to prevent oxidation for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
