Fitting & Usage

Fitting the Starter Clip

The stainless steel Starter Clip is used where the deck meets a house wall, to ensure that the wall edge of the board is secure, without fixing through the face. Just screw a clip 10mm away from the wall, in line with every joist. Then slide the first board to the clip, causing the return of the Starter Clip to locate into the groove that runs along the edge of the board. The Starter Clip can also be used to secure the last hollow decking board, or solid Step/Edge Nosing, to the perimeter of a deck.

Fitting the Hidden T-Clips

These tough plastic T-shaped clips are designed to fit between decking boards, with the T locating into the groove along the edge of the boards. Once the first board is laid into Starter Clips, position and loosely screw a T-Clip to each joist along the opposite edge, then fit the next board before tightening.

The following describes key installation points. Be sure to refer to the comprehensive installation guide when ordering, and when fitting.

Subframe and Joists

Can be fitted to timber, aluminium or composite subframe
Slope subframe at 10mm per metre towards drainage, to discourage free-standing water
Use maximum joist centres of 350mm, or 25mm if installing boards diagonally
Double the joists where board ends meet
Allow 150mm air-gap below the deck

Laying Decking Boards

Provide expansion gaps to allow proper drainage and ventilation
Gap between wall and first decking board should be 10mm
Side-to-side and end-to-end gaps should be 3-7mm
Side-to-object and end-to-object gaps should be at least 5mm
Starter Clips should be used to secure sides of board at edge of subframe on every joist Hidden T-Clips are loosely screwed every joist along the board and tightened when next board is inserted
Deck edges can be finished using Hollow Deck Boards with Edge Trim, or the Step/Edge Nosing

Maintenance

Do not clean with chemical products, a garden hose is usually sufficient
If pressure washing, use 80 bar max, 40°C max and head at least 30cm from surface

Reviews

How many boards and clips do you need?

Based on a sub-frame with maximum joist centres of 350mm, the following can be used as a guide.

2 x Hollow Boards per sq mtrs.
12 x T-Clips per board to secure to joists.
12 x Starter Clips per starter and end board to secure outside edge to frame.

Working out quantities

Multiply length and width of area to be decked to get the square meterage, then divide by 2 to get the number of boards needed.

Example Deck Area (5.5m length x 3m width)
Area is 16.5 m2 (5.5 x 3) and Boards Per Run is 1.5 (5.5 ÷ 3.66 (Board Length)).
Boards = 33 - Area x Boards Per m2 (16.5 x 2)
T-Clips = 377 - Boards - Boards Per Run) x T-Clips Per Board (33 - 1.5 x 12)
Starter Clips = 37 - (Boards Per Run x Starter Clips Per Board) x 2 ((1.5 x 12) x 2)
