Installing Angled Deck Boards in Corners
ALWAYS start in corner with a small triangular piece of
decking at 45° and work outwards. Install Trex Hideaway
fasteners 1/2 in (1.3 cm) off center to keep fastener screws
in middle of joists.
How to Butt Seams
1. Install 10 in – 12 in (25.4 cm – 30.5 cm) framing boards
along joists where seams will butt.
2. Place additional fasteners on the adjacent board over the
joist and framing boards where the seam will be.
3. Put the first board of the seam in place and secure with
fastener.
4. Butt end of second board to first and secure with fastener.
NOTE: Follow end-to-end gapping specifications on page 11
5. Place second set of fasteners on each side of butt seam
for next board.
