Step 2) Cut deck plank to desired length. Drill an access hole through the top surface only. (starter plank only) Screw
the bottom to joist through the access hole. (Fig. 2) Be sure to start this plank straight! Do not over tighten screws.
Set torque on screw gun properly. Use with clutch type screw gun!
Step 4) Cut next deck plank to desired length. Slide tongue under top lip and snap into place. (Fig. 3)
Step 5) Secure edge of deck board to joist as in step #3. (Open groove side only!) (Fig. 4) If a gap is desired,
use a spacer between deck boards at each screw location to maintain the gap between the deck boards. Repeat this process
until all of the deck boards are installed. Last deck board may be cut down to desired width. When removing open groove
side of deck board, secure deck plank to joists as in step #2. (Fig. 5)
Step 6) Finish by trimming out the deck edges with "L" Trim and "C" Channel. Use "L" Trim for flush edges and "C" Channel for overhangs. Secure trim pieces with pushpins every 16". Drill ¼" hole through trim pieces and deck board and secure by pressing pushpin in place. (Fig. 5) The Deck Lok trim piece can also be used to finish out the front of deck or steps. Install by snapping into place. (Fig 6)
