Support Techniques

Does StarBoard® require support when bearing a load?

The King StarBoard® Family of Marine Grade Polymers are strong, but they are not a structural material. When using these products, they must be supported by a load bearing framework.



Use StarBoard® itself to brace your work.

A reinforcing rib of StarBoard¨ can be attached under a spanning application such as a shelf or seat to add the necessary stiffness.




How can I add stifness to my project?

To add stiffness to a StarBoard® step tread or canoe seat, cut grooves under the StarBoard® and install a U channel support brace.







Reinforcing pads of StarBoard¨ can be attached under a spanning applications such as a swim platform to add the necessary stiffness.









To add stiffness to a StarBoard¨ hatch or table, install reinforcing ribs on the bottom.
