Framing
First, determine the decking span, that is, how far apart your joists will be. The frame needs to be
completely level before installing any boards.
Note: Adequate spacing in the joists is required to keep the deck boards from bending. Please review
the chart on page 5-6 of this installation guide to see what spacing is required for your prole.
Decking Installation
When installing the deck, the rst and last board of your project will need to use a starting accessory.
Every other board will use the hidden fastener for its installation.
Starting Accessory Installation:
Option 1:
T-Clip and TC-1 Locking Clip Installation

Pre-drill into the joist, then x the starting
accessory into the joist as shown in

After getting all the TC-1 and TC-2 clips into
position above each respective joist, begin
to fasten them from above as shown in
Diagram 22 and 23.
Note: The fastest way of installation is by
pushing all the boards together and then
coming back and sliding the clips into
the grooves from the side and then xing
from above.

Then, take your first board and push it
