What happens here
Once the initial boards are positioned, workers begin the fastening process. This video shows a common hidden fastening system for composite decking. Small clips, often made of plastic or metal, are placed into the grooved edges of the composite boards. A cordless drill or impact driver is then used to drive screws through these clips and into the joists below, securing the boards without visible fasteners on the deck surface. Knee pads are used for comfort during this kneeling task.
Goal: Permanently attach the composite deck boards to the subframe using hidden clips
