What are you using for fasteners?

Morning Mike,
For the interior boards I used the new Camo edge clips. Perimeters and stairs I used Toploc colour matched screws. Not allowed to use Cortex on these scalloped boards.
I'm starting an Azek deck Monday, it will be nice to use Cortex again.

Great looking deck.

 

How can money be made with such a slow system. The tiger claw gun is a godsend

It's looks good..... how did you get the over head picture? Drone

 

Have you tried the new edge clip? The way we've been doing it is throw down maybe 6-10 boards with the clips installed (but now screwed in), use the Bo-Wrench to tighten and straighten them up and screw clips on the last board every 4 joists or so to straighten them up, then at the end use the camo drive tool with the clip head and do the whole deck. We only have 1 drive tool, so sometimes another guy uses the duck bill looking thing that comes with the clips. It's a pretty fast system.

Thats much better still not as quick as the TG

 

I love the edge clips. Only used them on the one deck but it was a big one. I did use a good amount of the x clips where joists were doubled etc l, spots I couldn't clip it onto a single joist.

Yes I have a quadcopter for aerial shots.

I'm going to continue to use them.

They have to say it won't work. Because there are a lot of idiots out there that won't pay attention to where they put the plugs.

I'm surprised timbertech makes plugs for scalloped boards if they say not to in the installation instructions. The only scalloped board I've used was the Fiberon Good Life board I did a few weeks back. They didn't even make plugs for that. We used the camo edge screws for seam boards and just had to face screw the stairs and fascia.

Other than the clip issue I had (which was solved by our first time use of the camo clips), I was fairly impressed by the board. It priced out at $1.84 lnft for the solid brown color, and the deep grain pattern gave the solid color some depth. Probably wouldn't use it on my deck, but it would be something I'd probably use again for the right customer now that we figured out the clip issue.

 

They don't. I use Trex transcend spice rum and another similar color can't remember for 99%color match on timber tech Walnut or mohagony looking boards. There the only colors I use for production decking I don't install scalloped board's on my retail Jobs.

The new Timbertech Edge boards come in 2 profiles, scalloped and full (same colours) . The full isn't available in Canada, but I imagine they make the plugs for it and wouldn't be too hard to get.

Just noticed that t/tech has a solid contractor grade non scalloped board. I think it's 3/4 thick and install over 12oc. Which actually should almost be a standard with all plastics.
