TYPICAL INVISI-FAST DECK FASTENER QUANTITIES:

Average decks require approximately 1.75 fastener pieces per square foot of deck if joists are 16" on center, and approximately 2.25 pieces if joists are 12" on center.

Examples of calculations:

* 16 x 50 foot deck with 16" center joists needs (16 x 50 x 1.75 ) = 1400 Invisi-fast fasteners

* 16 x 50 foot deck with 12" center joints needs (16 x 50 x 2.25) = 1800 Invisi-fast fasteners

Number of Square Feet Covered Per Kit (with 16" on-center joists)

* 100 piece Invisi-Fast kits covers about 70 square feet

* 500 piece Invisi-Fast kits covers about 300 square feet

* Plus 100 piece covers about 50 sq.ft.

INSTALLATION GUIDES, TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

	SUMMARY: While applying pressure from the top of the deck board, push the Invisi-Fast deck fastener up and towards the deck board so the spacer and base of the fastener are firm against the deck board. Then, using an approved deck screw, fasten the fastener to the joist using the lower left hole making sure you do not over tighten. HINT:To prevent squeaks the manufacturer recommends applying a 3/8” bead of construction adhesive along top of joist before installing Invisi-Fast hidden deck fastener. This helps fill in voids and imperfections on the mating surfaces. Not applying adhesive will not compromise stability, but the adhesive provides additional holding power and stability. Depending on which exterior construction adhesive is required for your climate area, the adhesive also provides additional holding power. Check with your deck board manufacturer to verify warranty coverage.
	Slide the convenient overhang tabs under the first deck board. Applying pressure from above the deck board, fasten screw using the lower/ center hole, making sure you screw into the middle of the hole. Manufacturer recommends one screw to be fastened into the joist. The other 2 holes are to be used as backups (if wood imperfection is present). *Apply Construction Adhesive under each board to prevent squeaks and creaks later on.
	Apply adhesive and slide your second board into place. Secure deck board by using the remaining upper hole. Continue this process for the length of the board. Tip: When 2 boards meet each other on a joist, its best to install an Invisi-Fast on each side of the joist.
	Repeat this process until the last deck board.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.

Angle Deck Installation -- Using ANY ANGLE fastener
Requires approximately 2.3 pieces per sq. foot of deck when joists are 12” on center

	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 4: 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..

Natural Wood Decks:

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.
