Now that looks like the kind of composite decking I've been waiting for. Thanks Jon.

[SoulFire]

Having spent all day yesterday installing composite I can definitely say I approve this message!

[DavidBishopinc]

Looking forward to seeing the deck build.

I’m adding a deck off the back left side of my house in a few weeks. Cool info Jon, I look forward to your video. Looks like a great product for our long term needs

[andrewbrown]

Good info, Jon~! I'm looking at replacing our dilapid pressure-treated deck surface with a synthetic and that one looks nice. Haven't heard of Zome Tek yet. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Thanks~!

I'm going to be redoing my deck later this summer, can't wait to see the full video.

Thanks for the tips.
I can think of a lot of uses for the screws.

Did you encounter any problems with expansion using two different materials - ie. timber and composite decking?

[FernandoKugi]

Cool video, nice tip! I'm looking for these tipe of decking here in Brazil, but it is very expensive...

[jwmachen]

Good looking material and good tips. I wonder if other retailers might start to carry it in Virginia, HD, Lowes, 84 Lumber are all we have here.

Very informative..thank you Jon. Stay safe

[NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Great tips and nice looking work. I would personally avoid creating all those rot pockets though. Especially on the "reveal". Excellent video though!

[BruceAUlrich]

Good tips. I would consider using this stuff on a deck that I build. It has a really nice look to it.

Hey John, never laid a deck myself but will probably be in the future. Why is it you'd like a reveal around the decking instead of the decking hanging off a 1/4 of an inch? Thanks!

The demo of the special screw was invaluable. Too many of the videos for installing composite decking on YouTube only show how to use hidden clips. Luckily, I tested a “composite deck screw, ” with a bugle head, on a scrap of my composite, and of course it made a big nipple. So I went out and bought a couple boxes of screws that look like the one you used, and they’re working perfectly. Thank you. (Finally, at 56, I test even the screws on scrap wood.)

Greetings friends great work, which brand recommend me to make my deck

[mansellmovies]

Good to know stuff there. Many thanks for your upload.
Can I ask, what is that facing board with the edge called that your using ? That looks great

[IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great tips Jon! Thanks for sharing.😎👍JP

the UV from the sun is very harsh here in NZ I've seen it play havoc with composite (plastic) decking by bowing the planks, popping the clips and lifting the decking, and shrinking it at the ends exposing large gaps,

Hey my brother awesome stuff I like it very nice :)
