Review on Camo Edge Deck Screws ProTech Fasteners : Screws by Marfel Fekete

Having cut my feet on other decking fixings (nails and screws) as a kid, I liked the idea of a hidden fixing system that made it easy to remove individual boards into the future. With other fastening systems I've seen, you'd have to grab a lot of boards to get to the damaged one, but this method of pushing the screws into a small gap seems to work beautifully. I bought a cheaper template because I did the work myself. . I managed to get down 500 square meters. ft. 5/4x6 boards in about 30 hours and it looks great. I used treated wood so we'll have to see how the boards hold up over the next 3-6 months. A few things to keep in mind when using this system: I ended up buying enough screws to make 650 square feet for just my 500 foot deck. There were no fancy patterns in my plank layout - only 1/3 of the moveable joint over a 40 foot length using 12 foot planks. A house). You can set the template so that this does not happen. In this case I just drilled the screws through the top of the board and since it was machined wood you probably won't even notice the holes left after the wood swells around the countersunk screws.* 5/4-in -Boards, you can leave your boards just 1/2 inch behind your strip supports before the screws will show. It's just the type of angle the jig makes. You can extend them further with thicker boards like 2x.* Don't miss any joists when screwing the boards on. Once the head is countersunk, the reverse threads on the head of the screw make it difficult to unscrew for re-sighting. This was a problem for me when I had to butt two boards together on the same joist. There are no special requirements here, you just have to make sure that you master this system. I'm very happy with the final look and feel of my deck. Pop up. It is clean and makes a very robust impression. I recommend this system to anyone on a budget for the price.
