About this product

The DeckWise Extreme Plug Ribbed kit is a 350-count pack of genuine Tigerwood plugs designed to conceal face-screws in hardwood decking and siding. These plugs solve the aesthetic issue of visible fasteners by providing a seamless, color-matched wood finish for professional-grade Tigerwood installations.

Fabricated from authentic, kiln-dried Tigerwood for a natural color and grain match.
Ribbed side design increases surface area for glue bonding and provides a mechanical grip to prevent popping.
Tapered shape ensures easy initial insertion and a tight, gap-free fit at the board surface.
Specifically sized for compatibility with the DeckWise Drill & Drive 3/8 inch drill bit.

Best used for

  • 1Concealing face-screws on Tigerwood boardwalks to create a smooth, barefoot-friendly surface without visible hardware.
  • 2Finishing vertical Tigerwood siding or rainscreen installations where a clean, fastener-free architectural look is required.
  • 3Plugging screw holes on Tigerwood deck stairs, handrails, and picture-frame borders where hidden clips are not applicable.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods

  • Align the grain of the ribbed plug with the grain of the Tigerwood deck board before tapping it in to ensure the most invisible finish possible.
  • Apply a high-quality waterproof wood glue to the sides of the plug rather than the bottom of the hole to prevent 'hydro-lock' and ensure a permanent bond.
  • Wait for the glue to fully cure before using a flush-cut saw or sharp chisel to remove the excess plug, then sand with 80-grit paper to level the surface.

How to Plug a Hardwood Deck

1

Countersink the Screw

Use a 3/8″ countersink bit to create a flat-bottomed hole roughly 1/4″ deep. The screw sits at the bottom; the plug fills the remaining space.

2

Apply Exterior Adhesive

Put a small bead of waterproof polyurethane glue (included in kits) into the hole. Too much glue squeezes out and creates a mess; too little and the plug loosens over time.

3

Seat the Plug

Tap the plug in with a rubber mallet or wood block until it seats against the glue. Ribbed plugs self-center and grip irregular holes; smooth plugs work best in precision-drilled holes.

4

Flush-Cut After Curing

Wait 24 hours for the adhesive to cure fully, then trim the plug flush with a sharp chisel or oscillating multi-tool. Sand lightly and apply finish.

Pro Tip from Our Deck Specialists

Order plugs cut from the same species AND the same board lot as your decking for the closest color and grain match. Plugs from a different harvest can look noticeably different.
