Building Simple Deck Pt.2

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces the project, which is the second part of building a deck, specifically focusing on installing the decking boards. The creator showcases a piece of composite decking material, likely Trex brand, which is known for its durability and wood-like appearance. He also introduces 'hideaway fasteners,' which are specialized clips and screws designed to secure decking boards from the side, resulting in a clean, screw-free surface. He briefly explains that these fasteners go into the middle slots of the decking boards, pressing them down and keeping them in plane without visible screws.

Goal: Understand the materials and fastening system for composite decking.

What they say

Hide

This is part two of building a really nice deck. It's decking time. Cool stuff. Hip stuff. Neat stuff. Tracks deck. Tracks. Tracks. Cedar. Fancy hideway fastener. They go in the middle slots of both the decking surfaces. Secures in place. Keeping it pressed down. Hideway screws, but at the same time keeping them all in the same plane. I bet the Germans invented this. No Winchester, Virginia. USA.
