- 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.
Crymych
Crymych is a village of around 800 occupants as well as a neighborhood (populace 1,739) in the northeast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is situated approximately 800 feet (240 m) above water level at the eastern end of the Preseli Mountains. It stands astride the old Tenby to Cardigan turnpike road, currently the A478. The town developed around the previous Crymmych Arms railway station on the now-closed Whitland to Cardigan Railway, nicknamed Cardi Bach (Little Cardi). Crymych, which is twinned with Plomelin in Brittany, has an elected community council. The village has offered its name to a selecting ward of Pembrokeshire that incorporates the towns of Crymych itself and Eglwyswrw.
