Hidden deck fasteners were developed to eliminate nail and screw holes that often mark up or scar the surface of decks. Nails and screws that raise above the floor can actually be dangerous if they cut bare feat or create splintered surfaces. 

Some manufactured materials have developed specific hidden fasteners that fit into a groove that run the length of the boards.  Fastenator hidden fastening system works with Correct Deck composite decking to provide a clean, uniform deck surface installation.

Eb-Ty Hidden Deck Fasteners can be used with a variety of decking materials.  The fastener is attached to the deck board at each joist as it fits into a groove or channel along the edge of the board.  You may need to create this groove using a biscuit jointer which can be rented or purchased from your local hardware store for about $100.  Because installing hidden deck fasteners requires more labor than simply nailing or screwing down deck boards most professional deck contractors charge an extra $3-$5 to install hidden deck fasteners. Visit Eb-ty Hidden Deck Fasteners to learn more.
