Fastening Systems:
Once you decide which way the deck boards will run, determine
the span between the joists. Always adjust the joist span to
accommodate the deck pattern and stairs. Be sure the foundation
is sound, level, and use a minimum of two fasteners for attachment
of deck boards to each joist. Be sure to check local codes for
additional requirements and information. Additional framing will
be required for all butt joints. See nailer board information in
Plank & End Gapping.

Fading Information
All UltraDeck
®
products are created from a wood and plastic polymer composition which lets
you create a low-maintenace outdoor space without having to worry about cracking,
splintering, rot, or insects. The Fusion Decking and Railing products are produced with an
added cap layer that provides the most fade resistance.
Fading will occur at different rates depending on sun exposure of the products. Vertical
applications such as spindles will fade at a slightly different rate than decking, as the sun
exposure is different in these two areas. Over time, all Natural, Rustic, and QuickCap decking
and railing will fade to a similar shade.
See the UltraDeck
®
Decking and Railing book for color charts and fading information.
