Fortress Evolution 2"x6" Joist

The Fortress Evolution 2" x 6" Joist offers a highly durable, maintenance-free solution for deck framing. Crafted from galvanized steel, these joists are engineered to maintain their shape, eliminating concerns of sagging or warping over time.

Their familiar 2x6 shape ensures easy installation with minimal fasteners, streamlining the process for both DIY enthusiasts and professional builders.

A significant advantage of the Fortress Evolution system is its compatibility with additional Fortress components, such as the Evolution stair system and brackets. Together, these components allow for quick assembly, reducing installation time significantly.

The Black Sand powder coat provides a sleek, modern appearance that looks stunning on its own or can complement traditional aesthetics when paired with fascia or trim.

Designed to work seamlessly with various decking materials, including composite, PVC, and hardwood, Fortress Evolution joists provide flexibility and longevity unmatched by wood options. Whether you're building a new deck or upgrading an existing structure, these joists ensure a flat, even surface that will stand the test of time, backed by Fortress’s commitment to quality.
