Follow the deck framing tips, the plank gapping, and end gapping pages to begin your plank installa-

tion. These steps are key to ensure your decking is properly installed to last for many years. Before install-

ing Fusion

decking, be sure to look over all your boards and note color differences in order to distribute

the boards in a pleasing, natural looking manner.

DEKMOUNT

INSTALLATION:

SURFACE SCREWING INSTALLATION:

Note: When using this method, use composite deck screws, or 2⁄" conventional deck screws. Compos-

ite deck screws are recommended for this application, as they pull shavings into the screw hole, elimi-

nating the "mushrooming effect". When using conventional deck screws, you must pre-drill and coun-

tersink for each screw to avoid the "mushrooming effect".

Begin screwing, keeping screws at least ⁄" away from the edge or end of the plank to prevent splitting.

It is necessary to pre-drill and countersink at each end of an UltraDeck

board. Always add additional

nailer boards at butt seams (see page 7). Do not over tighten fasteners. When fastening Natural

™

Radi-

us planks, screws must be passed through the interior channel to avoid compression of the planks (2

screws must be placed on each board at every joist).

Install DekMount

onto each joist by screwing a ⁄" premium screw through side hole in

DekMount

. DekMount should be ﬂush on top of the joist and ﬂat against the side of the joist.

DekMount

is easily cut with snips to ﬁt in any required length. Stagger DekMount

butt joints so they

don't land in the same location on each joist. 12" is recommended for staggering of butt joints.

Install deck planks one at a time, from the end of the deck, working back towards the house or walled

structure. This allows you to reach the last plank attached from beneath the deck. The deck planks

should be located and spaced using side to side and end gapping charts before screwing. Screw from

the bottom; for best results, do not screw at the edge. By kneeling on top of the plank and reaching

underneath, the screws are driven upwards through the DekMount

and into the plank. DekMount

is designed to provide for a minimum of 2 holes for each plank. If the deck is elevated and is easier to

fasten from below the deck, another person should be on top of the deck, not only to ensure proper

spacing, but to provide weight; allowing the screws to securely anchor deck board.

For deck framing perimeter applications, additional bridging joists every 12" may be required to support radius edge boards installed in perimeter applications.
