Preparing the grooved board edges
□ After installing the rst end boards (pg 9), insert a Fiberon
ArmorGuard/PhantomGT hidden fastener into the groove of
the board, centering on joists.
NOTE: Grooved boards are not intended to be used as
perimeter boards unless you are also installing fascia boards
appropriately to cover the exposed grooves, or when the groove
is against a wall or other hard structure.

Installing the remaining boards/rows
□ Position the next deck board into the fasteners. It may be helpful
to angle the board slightly to fully seat it into the fasteners.
□ Repeat installing fasteners and positioning boards to cover
the deck surface. See “Installing the nal end boards” (pg 9)
for completing the deck.

Installing butt joints
□ Where two boards butt together, allow for adequate end-
to-end board spacing and use a single Butt Joint Hidden
Fastener to secure board ends.
