What is the difference between a rim joist and an end joist?

A rim joist, also known as a band joist, is the joist that runs along the perimeter of a floor system, providing support for the ends of the floor joists and acting as a barrier to airflow and insulation. In contrast, an end joist is a specific joist located at the end of a span, connecting two adjacent joists or providing additional support at the end of a row. While both serve structural roles, the rim joist is integral to the overall framing of the building, whereas the end joist is focused on connecting and supporting individual joists.

How do you repair deck joists on a cantilever deck?

Not knowing if the joist are in need of repair from rot (deterioration) or broken/damaged then replace ment of joist may be necessary. First get a replacement joist of the same or better species and treatment content and dimensions as the existing joist. Then cut the joist to the same length. You may have to cut a small angle on the bottom end of the joist to aid in working it over and between the girts and decking boards. Work the joist within a few inches of the joist to be replaced. Use a short 4x4 to drive the joist or a wood block to strike with a hammer. Take a couple of scrap 2x's and temporarily fasten to the girts and new joist to prevent movement. Then you may try a couple methods to remove the old joist. If the decking is fastened with screws then simply backout the screws. If it is nailed, then a 10 lbs. hammer can often remove most anything you need and is a great stress reliever but I recomend you use a reciprocating saw to cut the fasteners between the joist and decking. Usually the vibration of the saw and nails being cut will loosen the deck side of the fasteners and allow you to go top side and pull the old nail halves out. Once the old joist and fasteners are out you can carefully work the new joist in place. I recommend fastening the old decking to the new joist with properly coated screws or a hotdipped galvanized rink shank nail. Repeat joist replacement as necessary on other joist.
