Item# Tiger Claw TC-G Hidden Deck Fastener
Brand: Tiger Claw

Tiger Claw Hidden Deck Fasteners' unique patented design produces a smooth "nail free" surface to emphasize the beauty of the wood.

Constructed from heavy gauge stainless steel, strength and durability are assured. Tiger Claw hidden deck fasteners offer outstanding hold-down power for both wood and synthetic decking materials. They allow the beauty of the wood to be preserved and reduce splitting, splintering, cupping and rotting. With Tiger Claw hidden deck fasteners, you can create a better looking, longer lasting, safer deck at an affordable price.

Tiger Claw's unique fastener securely attaches decking boards using "claws" to grab the edge of board in such a way that no fasteners are visible. The fastener is secured to the support frame with a common decking screw. Reduced cupping, splitting, and cracking are benefits associated with this hidden fastener. Installation is quick and easy, without the need of any special tools.

300 Series Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Hidden Deck Fastener with black oxide coating.

Inspect decking material prior to installation. Omit any planks that contain hooks, twists, splits, cracks, or other defects. Always install decking with the crown upward.

Recommended for use in 5/4" or thicker decking. If using pre-grooved decking be sure that the groove is the correct dimension and location on the board so that it is compatible with the TC-G fastener. A router or biscuit joiner can be used to create grooves in solid edge decking. You can also purchase the Tiger Claw Slot Cutter  (sold separately) to create this groove.

90 pieces per package, comes with stainless steel screws.
