This document summarizes the Deck Master decking system, which provides a concealed fixing system for decks using pre-grooved and end-matched deck boards. Key features include secret fixing clips that are attached using a pneumatic tool, avoiding nails popping up. The system allows for faster installation, less waste, and superior appearance compared to traditional decking. It provides advantages like increased deck life without splitting or rot around fasteners.

consistent as the boards are held back to one side
managing boards that naturally expand and contract
• Also Note the Gap being set by the Gap Tab
This tab sets gap between the deck boards perfectly
every time

23. The TCG150 Clip
A bearing load applied across a decking board (14.5 x 5.5 inches - area of a single
board on 16” ctr. joists) can demonstrate what natural forces the fastener is
capable of withstanding. The TCG150 fasteners are calculated to withstand a
load of 240.2 lbf for that area. A category 5 hurricane for this same area is
calculated to exhibit a force of 157.4 lbf. A category 5 hurricane would require
more than 80 lbf in addition to its force in order to cause failure in the fastener.
