Time will tell, but the concept of this product is great! My deck had bad wood rot on the joists and this was recommended as a long term fix my replaced lumber. It's easy to apply and it's wide enough you can cut in half to make it go further. I'll know in 25 years if it does what is says!

After researching hardware and fasteners for treated wood (like ACQ) I found that Grace Deck Protector tape could be used as a barrier between joist hangers and other metal brackets to keep them from corroding. This tape is about 1/32 in thick and definitely provides a good barrier between the wood and metal hardware. It cuts easily to size and 1 roll is enough for my 400 sqft deck. The asphalt layer is the sticky side that adheres to the wood surface and the outside is plastic. Remember to use hot dipped galvanized screws or stainless steel screws since they will be going through the tape and into the wood. Although I'm using Simpson strong tie brackets with ZMAX coating for treated wood, not all types of brackets are available in ZMAX. Deck Protector tape still allows you to use regular galvanized brackets over ACQ treated lumber, which is nice.

This deck flashing is far superior to the other brands that sells for the same price. The only brand that I will buy in the future.
