I'm just a homeowner and admit that I know little about construction. I was researching contractors to find someone to build my deck. Several quoted me the job by "top screwing", but a couple also mentioned the hidden deck fasteners. After reading this article, I am definitely going that route. It makes perfect sense that hidden deck fasteners will hold longer and better. Thanks for the info before I made the wrong choice. Duh!

I was installing a composite deck and the manufacturer recommended a 1/4" gap space. Ipe Clip has an Extreme KD clip which worked well. My deck is now underway and looks great.

Makes some good valid points. Very interesting write up on how hidden deck fasteners are stronger than face screwing. Makes some good valid points.

Quick question though. You say the hidden deck fastener is a better choice. Can this fastener be used on composite decking or only on hardwoods? Thanks for the info. Quick question though.
