Installing Last Deck Board Using Plastic Clips

There are 2 ways to fix the final deck board when using plastic clips

1. Fix the last deck board as normal but do not fix plastic clips to the outer groove.

• Pre-drill holes and screw through the outer groove at an angle and into the joist.
• Start at 80mm approx and then at every 300mm approx intervals.
• Where the groove is not accessible pre-drill holes and screw through the face of the deck board avoiding the groove.

2. Do not fix the last 2 deck boards.

• Pre-drill holes and screw through the outer groove at an angle and into the joist.
• Start at 80mm approx and then at every 300mm approx intervals.
• Where the groove is not accessible pre-drill holes and screw through the face of the deck board avoiding the groove.

• Fix the last deck board by pushing into the starter clip. Check the deck board is securely in place before continuing.
• Fix the penultimate deck board(s) into the plastic clips which are already in place leaving a 6mm gap. Slide the number of plastic clips required between the last 2 deck board grooves and fix into place at every joist using the screws provided.
