- If you’ve not got an overhang or it’s a fixed deck, fit starter clips along the outside edge of the frame and secure with screws provided with the composite decking. If you are working with an overhang, put the first board into position not exceeding 25mm. If you’re adding a fascia, put an off-cut of board under the overhang so you know it’ll be flush with the fascia.
- Pre-drill all fixing points, measuring in 30mm from the edge of the board. Secure the board to the joist below with composite decking screws.
- Slide a hidden fastener clip in so it sits within the groove of the deck board. It needs to be in the centre of the joist to keep the boards secure and ensure an expansion gap of 6mm. Tighten the clips until just tight, and repeat so there’s a clip at every joist.
- Add the next board, ensuring that the fastener clips sit within the groove – make sure you don’t force it. Repeat step 3.
- Continue steps 3 and 4 until you’re at the final board, which you should secure in the same way as you did the first.
Colyton
Colyton is a town in Devon, England. It lies within the East Devon regional authority area. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) from Seaton and 6 miles (9.7 km) from Axminster. Its population in 1991 was 2,783, lowering to 2,105 at the 2011 Census. Colyton is a huge part of the Coly Valley electoral ward. The ward population at the above demographics was 4,493. Colyton initially looked like an ancient village around 700 AD and also functions in the Domesday Book as 'Culitone'. The 3rd code of law of King Edmund I was released at Colyton in about 945. This aided to support feudal society, by specifying plainly its four pillars: royalty, lordship, family, as well as neighbourhood. It grew into a crucial agricultural centre and also market community with a corn mill, saw mill, iron factory and also an oak bark tannery that is still functioning. Situated 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres) to the north of the community was Colcombe Castle, currently knocked down, a previous seat of the Courtenay household, Earls of Devon. Complying with the attainder of the Marquis of Exeter the Courtenay lands escheated to the Crown, and also those within Colyton were sold back for £1,000 to various residents of Colyton church, as listed in an action recorded in the Letters and also Documents of Henry VIII dated 6 January 1547, summarised as "John Clarke as well as others. Grant in free socage, based on rental fees etc. (defined), for l,000 l, of the following lands (levels given) in the church of Colyton, which are parcels of Colyton mansion, Devon, and also came from Henry Marquis of Exeter, attainted". This was the origin of the Feoffees of Colyton, who remained to hold in usual numerous residential or commercial properties in the church. The community has been referred to as "one of the most rebellious town in Devon" because of the number of its occupants who joined the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685.
