To start, make sure you have found the crown of the joist and know which side it is on. The crown is the natural curve that runs along the length of the board, and it should be facing up when installed.

Next, balance the joist on your shoulder to make it easier to carry. This will also help prevent any damage to the board during transport. When you are ready to install the joist, set it on the beam and then hand it to the installer. This will ensure that the joist is properly positioned and secured.

Remember, proper installation of the joists is essential for the structural integrity of your deck. Take your time and be sure to follow all safety precautions during this process.
