SET AND SQUARE
Set the first deck board on the substruc-
ture and square the board to the fram-
ing. Notice how the ends of the boards
overhang the edge of the framing.
NOTE: If you cut the deck boards to their exact length
prior to installing, fasten the boards immediately after
cutting to limit expansion and contraction. (Refer to
“Expansion/Contraction”.)
NO PRE-DRILLING
Drive screws through the deck board as
shown above. Use two screws per joist to
secure properly.
SCREW DEPTH
To contersink your screws, adjust the
depth on your driver to drive the screw
to a depth of 1/32” to 1/16” below the top
surface of the deck board. For best results,
the screws should slightly penetrate the
surface, similar to installing dry wall.
BUTTING BOARDS ON A RUN OR MITER
Ends should fit tightly together. Use two
screw fasteners per board end. Place
screws within 1/2” of board end (coun-
tersinking slightly). Fastners should be
properly fastened to underlying joist.
16" CENTERS | 12” CENTERS
This completed deck substructure is
ready for installation.
Use 12” on center when deck boards are
not applied Perpendicularly (90° angle)
to the joists, and on commerical applica-
tions.
SCREW SPACING
When fastening, always position screws
3/4” to 1” from the side of the board.
AZEK Deck components should not split
or crack if screws are needed closer to
the edge.
AZEK Deck should be installed using the same good building principals used to install wood or composite decking and in accordance with the local

of this product. Since all installations are unique, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to determine specific requirements in regards to each decking
application. AZEK Building Products recommends that all designs be reviewed by a licensed architect, engineer or local building official before installation.
