HOW TO INSTALL DECKING
PARTS
TOOLS NEEDED
NOTE: Maximum spacing of deck boards using
Hideaway system is 16" (406 mm) on center. Fasteners
provide 1/4" (6 mm) gap when installed correctly.
TIP: If installing in localities prone to large temperature
shifts within a 24-hour period, when installing Trex Universal
Hidden Fasteners, also predrill and toenail a screw (use
same screw used in hidden fasteners) at an angle in groove
at both ends (at least 1” from board end) and center of each
board.
Installing Start Clips and First Board
1. Install start clips on edge of ledger board, centered
on each joist. Secure clips with screws.
2. Push grooved edge of deck board into start clips.
Important: First board MUST be straight and well
secured.
Installing Universal Fasteners
3. Insert fastener into grooved edge of deck board.
4. Align screw hole in fastener with center of joist.
Continue along the length of the board at every joist.
NOTE: Screw only halfway down. DO NOT fully tighten.
Installing Second Board
5. Slide second board into place, making sure
fasteners fi t into groove. Install the next universal
fastener on the other side of the second board in
the same manner as Steps 3 and 4. DO NOT fully
tighten the screw.
Complete Installation
6. Tighten screws on
fasteners in fi rst row.
Proceed with Steps
3 through 5, tightening
down each row after
board that follows is in
place. Be sure to use a
long #1 square bit.
Installing Last Board
Option 1:
NOTE: If boards are slightly bowed up, you can use this
option to draw boards down on the fi nal joist. This can
also help eliminate overall movement of the boards in
areas prone to wide temperature changes.
Using Fascia Board
7a. Pre-drill pilot holes at an
angle through grooved
edge of deck board into
ledger board. Install
2-1/2" (64 mm) screws
through pilot holes to
secure. Attach a fascia
board fl ush with deck
surface.
