Installation Guide

Note: Prior to positioning the last deck
board, place the end clips on the inside
of the rim joist securing them with a single
screw inserted perpendicular through each
clip into the joist.
Note: Use a square edge board for a
smooth deck board edge on the perimeter
of the deck. This requires a eld-grooved
cut on the inside edge only for the
PhantomGT hidden fastener.
After positioning the last deck board in
place, secure the deck board by angling a
screw through the clip and into the board
at a 30˚- 45˚ angle. Be careful to make sure
the screw inserts fully and pulls the board
down (2). Space no more than 12 in. (30
cm) apart.
Note: When thickness of rim joist exceeds
11/2 in. (4 cm), end clips should be secured
to the outer edge of the joist.

How to nish the installation with
end clips on the rim joist interior
Secure GT fasteners by driving the screw
fully into joist. Continue installing and
securing the fasteners in the center of each
joist along the remainder of the deck board.
Position the next deck board into the
GT fasteners. It may be helpful to angle
the board slightly to fully seat it into the
fasteners.
Repeat installing fasteners and positioning
boards to complete the deck. Use
PhantomGT Butt Joint Hidden Fasteners
where two boards butt together allowing for
adequate end-to-end spacing.
