Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed carpenters or deck contractors. Always follow the composite decking manufacturer's recommended fastener spacing and pre-drilling guidelines before driving screws. Consult local building codes for deck fastener requirements, which may reference IRC provisions for exterior structures. Do not overdrive screws, as excessive torque can damage composite board surfaces.
