GENERAL INFORMATION
SAFETY
When working on any construction project, you should
wear protective clothing and safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses, gloves, a dust mask and long sleeves,
particularly when cutting in confi ned spaces.
Trex decking and railing are heavier and more fl exible
than wood. DO NOT try to lift the same quantity of
Trex boards as you would traditional lumber. Go to
www.trex.com for Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
TOOLS
You can create intricate shapes, profi les, and patterns
with Trex. Most installments require no special tools.
For best results, use carbide-tipped blades and router
bits.
When using a miter
saw, we recommend
using the Trex
Blade
™
*. This
comes in 3 different
sizes and is ideal
for cutting all our
decking and railing
products (these are
not recommended
for cutting Trex
Elevations
®
). Refer
to www.trex.com for
more information.
Install Trex
recommended
fasteners with
standard power drills
or approved screw
guns.
If your choice is to use
the metal Trex Hideaway
Hidden Fasteners, using
the pneumatic gun by
TigerClaw
®
* is a terrifi c
option. This will allow for
a quicker install time.
Trex Gun Pail includes
900-count connector clips
and TC-SG collated pneumatic screws.
Trex
routs beautifully to
give extremely crisp edges.
The groove cutter/router
bit is used with the Trex
Hideaway fastening
system.
CAUTION
DO NOT rout balusters. Routing will change the
surface of Trex products.
