Installation Instructions

QUICKCAP
™
INSTALLATION:
Snap a chalk line, parallel to the existing surface, at 1⁄" 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 ⁄" 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 first section of the QuickCap
™
boards along the outside edge of the deck. Pre-drill with ⁄" bit and countersink each screw.
These screws should be placed every 16" and go through the first leg that is at least 1⁄" 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 first leg that is at least 1⁄" in from the outside edge.
