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.

DirectBuy offers a wide selection of beautiful outdoor accessories and patio furniture to help you create a backyard to enjoy for years to come, and manufacturer-direct prices that can save up to 50% off retail make it more affordable for your budget.
