InstallationStep 7 - Place, lock and screw in first decking piece
Step 8 - Repeat Step 7 until the required width is achieved
Place the decking length and click it into the starter piece. Once in place, fix the decking down with a ‘se-crete’ screw which will be covered by the next decking piece.
Hint: If working between posts, you can cut out pieces of the new decking without affecting the flow of the deck.
Once the last piece of decking is laid, place the nose capping over the outer edge of the deck-ing. This will create a nice finish to the edge of the deck and will cover the outside piece.

InstallationStep 9 - Mount nose capping
Hint: if the deck is seen on all edges, you can frame the deck witha nose piece the entire way around.
if the decking area is large, you can place a length down and use a T-joiner section to join the deck together to create a large span.
Vertical risers can be attached in standard Aliwood slats to hide timber joists.
