Patio Decks Without The Nail Heads
Decks are wonderful additions to your patio and outdoor areas. They look so inviting, and then you walk up on them and it seems your eye is drawn to every nail head on the surface. There are alternatives for fastening decks to their frames without having to see the nail heads on the surface of the deck. Not only can the nail heads be unattractive, they can also work their way upwards over time and be the perfect unseen obstacle for catching your shoe or toe.
When you’re ready to remodel your deck or build one, there are hidden fasteners available in several styles which are placed at the bottom edge of the surface board and then screwed into the joist or frame bracing. Consider this type of fastening system for your new patio deck to ensure you can see nothing but the pure beauty of your wood deck surface. This construction method allows you to enjoy your deck more and is a safer alternative than the traditional nailed surface.
