EB-TY

: HIDDEN DECK FASTENING SYSTEM

The EB-TY provides a unique method of fastening deck boards that

makes the fasteners virtually invisible. Fastening is done into the side

of the board, leaving a fastener-free deck surface.

The EB-TY is a polypropylene biscuit fastener that ﬁ ts into a slot the

builder cuts into the edge of the deck boards with a standard biscuit

joiner. The EB-TY fasteners are inserted and fastened with a screw

driven into the joist. Nesting each successive board against the

EB-TY automatically ensures consistent spacing and uniform height.

• Easy to install since all fastening is done from the top side

• Affords easier deck resurfacing since nail heads are

eliminated from the deck surface

• Formed from long lasting polypropylene to last

the life of the deck

• Stainless-steel #7 trim-head screws included

• Each EB-TY package includes installation instructions and enough

EB-TY fasteners, screws and tapered Ipê wood plugs to install

100 square feet of decking (175-Pack quantity assumes 6" wide

boards, installed perpendicular to joists spaced 16" on center)
