4m Composite Joists/Batten
Cladco 4m composite joists and battens offer a versatile solution for your outdoor projects. Use them as composite joists to support your garden decking or as composite battens for exterior wall cladding installations. Manufactured from the same durable wood-plastic composite material as our decking and cladding boards, they’re designed to work seamlessly as part of a complete system - ideal for long-lasting, low-maintenance substructures.
About Our 4m Composite Joists/Battens
Bring your composite decking or cladding to life with Cladco 4m composite joists/battens. Designed as a vital structural component, these joists and battens provide reliable support for the installation of composite boards.
Ideal for use as decking joists, they offer a durable, weather-resistant base for your outdoor space. Alternatively, they can be installed as cladding battens, either vertically or horizontally, depending on your project’s design. Made from the same composite material as our boards, they offer a consistent, low-maintenance solution for any outdoor build.
Joist specifications
- Length: 4m
- Width: 50mm
- Height: 30mm
- Weight (Approx.): 5.16kg
Cladco composite joists and battens are supplied in a dark charcoal colour, providing a sleek and modern finish to any substructure. For decking installations, joists should be spaced no more than 400mm apart, while for wall cladding applications, battens should be spaced at a maximum of 500mm apart to ensure proper support.
As a general guideline, we recommend one joist per square metre of decking. For best results, especially in decking projects, joists should be installed over a solid concrete base to create a sturdy, long-lasting foundation for your outdoor space.

Customer Collection Notice
Please ensure you have pre-booked your collection slot before travelling to site.
When arriving to collect your order, please report to a member of our Warehouse Team who will register your arrival and locate your goods. Once ready, your items will be picked and brought to your vehicle loading area.
During busy periods, there may be a short wait while our yard team assist other customers or complete other loading tasks. We always do our best to work within your booked collection time.
We respectfully draw your attention to the following important points:
- Loading is ultimately the customer’s responsibility. While our team can assist with mechanical loading using forklifts, we cannot handball items into enclosed vehicles. Customers must ensure their vehicle is suitable and that goods are safely loaded and adequately secured before leaving the premises.
- Sharp sheeting, metal goods, and long/heavy items may pose additional handling risks. Please come prepared with high-quality protective gloves, and any appropriate protection materials to avoid damage to your vehicle or restraints (e.g. ropes or straps). The edges of roofing sheets and metal products can be extremely sharp, and care should be taken when handling.
- We strongly recommend that customers bring their own straps, ropes, or other securing materials, as we are unable to provide these at the point of collection.
- If you are unsure of your vehicle’s load capacity, we can advise the approximate weight of your order in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is suitable for transporting the goods safely and legally.
- Cladco will not be held liable for any damage to your vehicle or goods once they have been loaded and leave our premises. Loading assistance is provided entirely at the customer’s own risk.
Click & Collect – Pre-Booking Required
You are welcome to collect your order from either our Okehampton (Devon) or Andover (Hampshire) site. All collections must be pre-booked in advance so your items can be picked, packed and ready for you.
Please do not travel to site without a confirmed collection time, as we cannot guarantee your order will be available.
Once your items are ready, you will receive an email with a link to book your collection slot. Please note, same-day collections are not available and bookings must be made at least two hours in advance.
When you arrive, please bring your order confirmation and follow the signage to the collection area where a member of our team will assist you.
