Installation Instructions
Especially for Homeowners and Do-It-Yourselfers
The day you purchased your home, you made one of the biggest —
and smartest — investments of your life. And if you add a beautiful, well-made
deck to your home, or renovate an existing deck, you increase the value of your
investment substantially.
A deck creates unlimited opportunities for relaxation and fun for your family
and friends. A deck extends the living space of your home: It brings you closer
to nature, whether you're basking in the summer sunshine or barbecuing ribs
under a winter sky. That's why we say, "Any Time is Deck TimeTM."
So when it comes time to add or renovate a deck, whether you hire a contractor
or do it yourself, make sure you use innovative, award-winning EB-TY®
Hidden Deck FastenersTM.
EB-TY deck fasteners eliminate unsightly surface scars, such as splinters,
holes, or puddle areas to mar the beauty and safety of your deck. You won't have
to worry about nails popping up or screws tearing bare feet. And you won't have
rows and rows of holes in your deck surface because EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners
are virtually invisible — above or below the deck. The dark color of the
fasteners blends with the shadow of the joints.
Our fasteners are the most reliable, long-lasting fasteners on the market. They
are manufactured in the United States and made of ultra-violet resistant
polypropylene. They can't rust, and they're guaranteed to last 100 years with
normal use.
EB-TY fasteners automatically set even 3/32" or 1/4" spacing between deck
boards, and ensure that all your deck boards will be level and at a uniform
height. We offer you an EB-TY fastener for every type of wood and composite. So,
no matter what style of deck or type of decking material you choose, EB-TY
Hidden Deck Fasteners create uniform, clean lines that highlight the beauty of
your deck.
The EB-TY Hidden Deck-Fastening SystemTM consists of
black biscuits that are inserted into slots or kerfs cut by a biscuit joiner, or
router bit, at each joist. One stainless steel #7-2 1/4" screw holds each
biscuit tight, and after applying beads of exterior construction glue to each
joist, the next deck board slips over the exposed EB-TY fasteners. It's fast and
easy.
EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners save time and money. All the installation is done
from the top surface, so you can have a deck as close to the ground as you want.
Here's what one homeowner has to say about EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners:
"I think EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners are great ... . I have four children,
and, when we were building our deck, I knew I did not want our contractor to use
screws. Screws are ugly, and they're toe killers. Today, our deck is the focal
point of our home, and we use it all year round. And I have no doubt having such
a beautiful deck has added to the value of our home."
