- 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.
Trimdon Station
Trimdon (population 2,958) is a town in County Durham, in England (earlier Tremeldon (1196) or Tremedon (1262 )). It is 9 miles west of Hartlepool, as well as adjacent to Trimdon Colliery, Trimdon Grange as well as Deaf Hill (additionally known as Trimdon Station). In your area, to distinguish it from these it is known as Trimdon Village or merely "The Town". The main focal point of "The Village" is Saint Mary Magdalene church, which was built throughout the Norman period (roughly 1145AD). Trimdon Labour Club (currently shut) was the setting for some of the former prime minister and constituency MP, Tony Blair's constituency speeches. Blair's neighborhood residence remained in nearby Trimdon Colliery.
