The Deck Pilot system is designed to help contractors install the maker's deck boards easier and with hidden fasteners. The jig lets users fastens solid decking directly through the edge of the board without pre-drilling. Each board is fastened twice at the joists, to help strengthen the framing, and prevent racking, sliding, shifting, and loosening of joists boards. The technique eliminates 'blow-out' often experienced when fastening composite material near the edge, the maker says, and exceeds hurricane zone requirements in uplift tests. 888.860.8009. www.sensibuilt.com.
