  50° hardened screw guides create a concealed deck fixing to prolonging decking life and improve appearance.

  Concealing the deck screws prolongs the life of the decking by minimising the potential for water penetration and rot. With traditional fixing methods, such as nails or surface-mounted screws, water can seep into the holes or gaps created during installation.

  Over time, this moisture can cause the wood to deteriorate, leading to warping, splitting, and overall degradation of the deck. Concealed fixings help mitigate this issue by sealing the deck boards more effectively, reducing the risk of water ingress and extending the lifespan of the decking.

  The use of 50° hardened screw guides enhances the structural integrity of the deck. The angled insertion of screws creates a stronger connection between the deck boards and the underlying support joists, reducing the likelihood of boards becoming loose or dislodged over time.

  This increased stability ensures that the deck can withstand heavy loads, foot traffic, and environmental stresses, offering a safe and secure outdoor space for years to come.

  Built-in board spacers create a consistent and accurate 3.5mm, 4.5mm or 5.5mm gap between boards for drainage and expansion.

  A uniform gap between each deck board serves multiple purposes, including drainage. By maintaining a consistent spacing between the boards, water can easily flow through the gaps, preventing the accumulation of moisture on the deck surface.

  This also promotes better airflow and allows for efficient drying, reducing the risk of mold, rot, and other moisture-related issues that can compromise the durability of the deck.

  In addition to drainage, the gaps created by board spacers accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the deck boards due to changes in temperature and humidity.

  90-150mm board width adjustment to suit a large range of standard and non-standard boards.

  Quick-release clamping arm secures the jig to the decking board for easier, accurate installation.

  On-board tool storage for storing the driver bit.

  Includes hex shank Robertson no.1 square drive bit.

  Use with Trend 10 x 60mm ceramic coated decking screws, which offer superior corrosion resistance and are certified to EN 14592 for use with timber structures.
