Hardydeck decking boards are fixed with invisible stainless steel clips and thus without visible screws. This is not only more beautiful, but also a lot safer. When constructing a deck, make sure that you use hardwood girders; this extends the life of your deck considerably. Space between the boards is essential for good drainage. This spacing is automatically secured by the clips. All technical information at a glance:
