How Hidden Fasteners Work on Hardwood Decks

1

Pre-Groove the Boards

Hidden fasteners require a slot machined into the edge of each board. Most boards from Ipe Woods USA ship pre-grooved, or you can route the slot on-site with a 1/8″ slotting cutter.

2

Set the First Board

Secure your starter board to the joist with a face screw near the house-side edge. This first board anchors the rest of the field and will be covered by trim.

3

Clip, Screw, Slide

Insert the clip into the board groove, drive the supplied screw through the clip into the joist at roughly 45°, then slide the next board onto the exposed clip tab. The built-in spacer legs set the gap automatically.

4

Repeat Across the Deck

Continue across the deck, one board at a time. Each clip grips the outgoing board while spacing the incoming one — no measuring or shimming needed.

Pro Tip from Our Deck Specialists

In hot weather, tighten clips snugly but not crushing-tight. Exotic hardwoods expand and contract with moisture changes, and the clip must allow sideways movement to prevent buckling.
