What happens here

Once the board is initially engaged, firmly push it along its entire length to ensure full engagement with all the hidden fastener clips. If necessary, use a hammer (preferably a rubber mallet to avoid damaging the composite material) to gently tap the edge of the board. Tap along the board's length until it is snug against the adjacent board and fully seated in the fastener system, creating a secure and uniform gap between boards.

Goal: Fully secure the board into the hidden fastener system

Tools and materials

  • Composite Decking Board — The board being secured
