Cladding will provide a professional nished look to your deck. UltraDeck

cladding can be

used as skirting to cover; joist members, elevated support posts, outside edges of board

proles, stair stringers, and other exposed lumber products.

When attaching cladding to the deck frame, use color-matched cladding screws. In order to

be sure there is enough room for proper expansion and contraction of the UltraDeck

planks,

secure cladding only to the deck frame; not the decking planks. When installing cladding be

sure to pre-drill and countersink two screws, starting 1-1/2" from the top and bottom edge

of the cladding every 12". Screws should be snug but it is important not to over tighten the

screws.

For long distances requiring multiple pieces of UltraDeck

cladding, use opposing miter cuts

at the seam to reduce visible joints, Figure 1.

Endcaps are a great way to protect your UltraDeck

with hollow proles by helping

create a barrier against moisture, dirt, and insect infestation. They can provide a clean,

professional look to end cuts made at a 90° angle. Endcaps are not necessary for any butt joints

in the deck. If desired, a silicone adhesive caulk may be used to further secure endcaps to the

planks.
