How to install Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Fasteners
Note: Maximum sapcing of deck boards using Hideaway system is 16” (406mm) on center. Fasteners provide 1/4” (6mm) gap when installed correctly.
- First, measure 3/8” (10mm) off of edge of ledger board, and install start clip onto ledger board, centered on each joist. Secure clips with screws.
- Next, push grooved edge (longer edge side) of porch floorboard into start clips.
- Insert fastener into grooved edge (shorter edge side) of deck board, making sure to align screw hole in fastener with center of each joist.
- It is suggested that in order to keep the fastener straight and secure, cut an 18” piece of porch scrap board and use this as an aid (use smaller lip side) to help hold the hidden fastener down befor screwing this in. This will help make sure the fastener stays fully straight for remaining boards to be attached.
Fully tighten (but Do Not over tighten) the screw into each joist while keeping the scrap board in firm place against the hiddne fastener.
- Slide second board into place, making sure fasteners fit into goorve. Install the next universal fastener on the other side of the second board in the same manner as the previous two steps.
