Have you ever wondered what those grooves that line the edges of deck boards serve? This grooved edge is intended for use with a concealed deck fixing system. Because they are very popular and widely used, almost every decking manufacturer produces decking that has a smooth or grooved edge. It is also possible to router around the edge of wood deck boards by yourself to create a slot that allows hidden deck fasteners to be installed. This can be useful when working with wood as they typically do not come with grooves that have been pre-cut.
It is important to remember that grooved boards don't come with an established groove size. It is important to confirm by contacting the maker that concealed fasteners you're considering using are compatible with the brand you prefer for decking boards prior to ordering. The majority of concealed deck fasteners work with the most popular decking brands, such as Trex, Timbertech, or Azek. The advantage of grooving your deck is that it allows you to create the groove in any way you'd prefer. If you are patient at labor, it could lead to a better fit.
These are descriptions of the most sought-after hidden fastener systems, along with reviews on the system.
