Tiger Claw Hidden Deck Fasteners' unique patented design produces a smooth "nail free" surface to emphasize the beauty of the wood.
Constructed from heavy gauge stainless steel, strength and durability are assured. Tiger Claw hidden deck fasteners offer outstanding hold-down power for both wood and synthetic decking materials. They allow the beauty of the wood to be preserved and reduce splitting, splintering, cupping and rotting. With Tiger Claw hidden deck fasteners, you can create a better looking, longer lasting, safer deck at an affordable price.
Tiger Claw’s unique fastener securely attaches decking boards using "claws" to grab the edge of board in such a way that no fasteners are visible. The fastener is secured to the support frame with a common decking screw. Reduced cupping, splitting, and cracking are benefits associated with this hidden fastener. Installation is quick and easy, without the need of any special tools.
Made from Heavy Gauge Steel with black oxide coating for outstanding corrosion protection and an additional black top coat to better hide fastener between boards.
Recommended for use in softwood decking measuring 1" or thicker lumber. Softwood decking will inherently experience shrinkage. When using decking material prone to high shrinkage, decking should be installed tightly together allowing shrinkage to provide gap over time. Shrinkage of decking board width must be limited to a maximum of 1/4". Ask your lumber provider for information on expected expansion and/or contraction of material for your particular climate.
Please note - the 1400 peice kit does not include screws. You will need to purchase these separately Tiger Claw Black Deck Screw.
