Chevron Deck Pattern

Boards meeting at a 45° point along a center line, forming a V-pattern that runs the deck length. Sharper, more directional than herringbone.

1.26× labor vs straight16% waste12″ O.C. + center sleeper-beam to hold the V joint
Best for

Long decks (3:1+ aspect ratio), decks pointing at a focal feature (pool, view, garden centerpiece), modern architecture.

Watch-outs

The center V-joint is a wear point and water-collection seam. Plan for re-flashing at year 5-7 even on capped composite.
