How do you build strong floor joists?

Answer by  TF (60)

If starting a floor from scratch take the time to make sure that you've chosen the right size floor joyce for the span you need to stretch, and that your spacing between the joyce is appropriate. Support your floor for longer spans with posts and beams.

The best way to build strong floor joists is to use good, hard Oak beams that feature a dovetail or tongue-and-groove end match.
