Choosing a Deck
The Kreg Deck Jig™ works with almost any type of decking material. Here are the characteristics of some of
the most popular types of decking:
• ACQ – “Green Treat” is one of the most affordable types of decking material, and is usually made from pine. This
material commonly suffers from shrinking/swelling/splitting and won’t last as long as many other types of decking.
• Composite Material – Composite decking is usually made from a combination of wood fi bers and
plastic. It is more expensive than pine, but lasts much longer and is less prone to shrinking/swelling/splitting.
We recommended using composite decking material.
• Exotic Hardwoods – Exotic woods, such as Ipe, are much harder and denser than pine. Because
of this, they last longer, look better, and cost more. Exotic woods still require periodic treatment to prevent
discoloration and water damage.
Deck Screws
Protec-Kote ™ - Three anti-corrosion layers protect against rusting in a wide variety of decking applications.
Perfect for use with ACQ treated lumber.
Stainless - For even more protection, choose stainless. Stainless steel screws provide the best long-term
resistance to corrosion and protects your investment when using premium decking.
