COMPLETE INSTALLATION
• Place the next plank into position against the fasteners. Slightly raise the outer
edge of the plank being installed and slide it onto the fastener until the plank
contacts the spacer tab. When properly installed the inserted plank should be in
contact with the bent-forward spacer tab at the left end of the clip. To achieve this
use a scrap piece of decking at least 24” in length and use it as a tamping block to
drive the plank further onto the clip and the screw will fully engage the plank to
the spacer tab if not already in contact.
• Do not use a hammer or damage to the edge of the plank may occur.

• Joists at butt joints must be doubled up for proper fastener attachment.
• Install fasteners as detailed below. Note that the two clips on the right are shifted
approximately 1/4” to the right of center on the joists. If this is not done the spacer
tab may fall within the gap of the butt joist.
• To help minimize possible gapping at butt joints, consider installing Cortex screws
within 1/2” of board ends as well as 2 per joist at two to three joists from butt
ends in either direction.
