QuickCap™ Installation:
Snap a chalk line, parallel to the existing surface, at 1-1/2" in from the edge of the deck to
act as a reference. Add an additional chalk line every 16" to mark the placement of each
QuickCap™ fastener. If the chalk line falls in the gap between the existing deck boards,
move the line back until the line is at least 3/4" in from the edge of the existing deck boards.
This will decrease the space between this line and the previous line making sure the chalk
lines do not exceed the recommended 16" spacing. The 16" spacing for additional lines will
continue from this adjusted line.
Color-matched cladding screws may be used to attach the rst section of the QuickCap™
boards along the outside edge of the deck. Pre-drill and countersink each screw. These
screws should be placed every 16" and go through the rst leg that is at least 1-1/4" in from
the outside edge.
Install a row of QuickCap™ fasteners on the chalk lines, one every 16". Then slide the
QuickCap™ plank into place. Continue this process until the deck surface is covered. Do
not over tighten the fasteners; this will not allow the clip head to line up with the groove in
the plank.
QuickCap™ boards can be ripped down when less than a full width is needed. Fasten the
unaltered edge of the board to the existing deck with a QuickCap™ Fastener. Then fasten the
altered edge by pre-drilling and fastening with color matched cladding screws to the cut side
of the board.
Color-matched cladding screws may be used to attach the last section of the QuickCap™
boards along the outside edge of the deck. Pre-drill and countersink each screw. These
screws should be placed every 16" and go through the rst leg that is at least 1-1/4" in from
the outside edge.
