Installation Guide

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
of this installation guide to see what spacing
is required for your profile.
Decking Installation
When installing the deck the first 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:
1. After calculating the decking span and making
the frame of your deck the first board is ready
to be installed.
2. First pre-drill into the joist then fix the starting
accessory into the joist as shown in Diagram
21.
