Review on πŸ”§ Effortless Deck Installation: Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Deck Fastener Clip 500 SQFT Bucket by Raffy Baer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for TimberTech tongue and groove decking

As the title says I have used these with TimberTech rib boards and they fit properly and can be snug on the cleats (protrusions on the side). It takes more than one person to perfectly hold the board and secure the next row of bindings. Agree with others that unless you have incredibly flat bars it definitely takes one person per bar. Otherwise, due to the flexibility of the composite deck, you will hear it banging against the joist when you walk into the area where you didn't set the fasteners. Only three of the whole box had no screw. The only criticism is that the screw diameter seems too big. slightly smaller than the other bolts, and some of them broke at knots on the joists. Just attach a small piece of board to the side of the knot and place it there (don't skip it).

Pros
  • For wooden decking.
Cons
  • Some bugs
