Hidden Fastening Installation for Paramount Grooved Edge (continued)
TIGER CLAW HIDDEN FASTENER INSTALLATION
1
Preparing the grooved board edges
□ After installing the rst end boards (pg 12), insert a Tiger Claw
TC-G hidden fastener into the groove of the board, centering
on joists.
NOTE: Grooved boards are not intended to be used as
perimeter boards unless installing fascia boards appropriately
to cover the exposed grooves, or when the groove is against a
wall or other hard structure.
2
Securing the fasteners
□ Secure fasteners by driving the screw fully into the joist.
Continue installing and securing the fasteners in the
center of each joist along the remainder of the deck board.
□ Center-pin the board at the centermost joist with two
Cortex fasteners.
3
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 12) for completing the deck.
4
Installing butt joints
□ Where two boards butt together, allow for adequate
end-to-end board spacing and use a Tiger Claw line
fastener and a Tiger Claw butt clip on the joist to
secure board ends.
