Hidden Deck Fasteners, Invisi-Fast Fasteners

	Step 1: When using the ANY ANGLE fastener, you may have to screw the first corner board down from the top, if there is insufficient room to attach fastener from below. Step 2: Using the Invisi-Fast™ Angle with spacer, slide the convenient overhang tabs under your first deck board for hands free attachment. Then using an approved deck screw, fasten the Invisi-Fast™ Angle to the joist using a lower hole. Tip: Manufacturer recommends one bottom crew to be fastened into the joist. The other 2 holes are to be used as backups if wood imperfection is present. Tip: You may want to temporarily secure the deck board with a finishing nail to ensure no shifting.

	Step 3: Secure the deck board by using the corresponding upper hole. Slide your second board into place. Secure deck board by using the remaining upper hole. Continue this process for the length of the joist. Tip: When 2 boards meet each other on a joist, install an Invisi-Fast™ Angle on each side of the joist.

	Step 3: Repeat this process until the last deck board Tip: Prior to securing the final board, cut your board to size if necessary. Using the Invisi-Fast™ without a spacer, secure the Invisi-Fast™ to the inside perimeter board (rimboard) using the lower hole. Then once all perimeter fasteners are secure, fasten your final deck board using the upper deck board holes..

The best practice for natural woods, such as redwood and cedar, is to space boards at 1/8" but use the ZERO-spacebar Invisi-Fast fastener. Because the natural woods have much more expansion and contraction, NOT using a mechanical spacer provides more allowance for expansion and contraction without undue stress. The Zero-spacebar Invisi-fast fasteners are designed to provide the optimal performance and beauty for natural woods decks. When installing the NO-Spacebar Invisi-fast fasteners on natural wood decks, use some 1/8" spacebar fasteners or a suitable size nail, to create a temporary space while installing the Invisi-fast fasteners, then remove the temporary spacer.

For TREATED lumber decks, such as ACQ treated lumber, the best practice is to not use ANY space (or very small) and to locate the boards together when installing. This is because the treated lumber materials shrink over the first couple years, naturally creating a space.
