<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

We cannot stress enough the importance of using NeoTimber\u2019s purpose-built composite decking screws and composite decking fixings<\/a> to ensure the longevity of your deck and that it goes the distance. Composite decking projects<\/a> come in all shapes and sizes, and we realise there isn\u2019t usually a \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution when ensuring your deck is secured correctly.<\/p>\n

However, with NeoTimber\u2019s solution<\/a>, there is a selection of purpose-built fixings that work in conjunction with the composite deck boards<\/a>. We have outlined below a breakdown of the relevant installation clips and fixings that should be used with our boards.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Starter clips<\/a> are fixed onto the very edge of your subframe and securely fix the first run of boards. The starter clip<\/a> is also used to fix the underneath edge board to your subframe.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How Many NeoTimber\u00ae Starter Clips Do I Need For My Project?<\/p><\/h3><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We would recommend you use this clip on your first run of deck boards and fix around 10-12 starter clips<\/a> for each 3.6m decking length<\/a>. The same amount would be required for fixing the edge board. Most average-sized decking projects (under 80m2) tend to only require 1 pack of starter clips<\/a> to complete the job.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

These come in either a 3mm stainless steel<\/a> option or 6mm plastic option<\/a>. They are designed to securely join one board to another, and each one can be used to fasten your composite decking boards<\/a> to your subframe. Each have their own specified benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Like the starter clips<\/a>, we recommend that you use around 10-12 clips per 3.6m length deck board. Generally, 1 pack of FastClips to every 10 lengths of decking should be sufficient. Our handy decking calculator<\/a> will provide you with a clear idea based on your dimensions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
