Creates a Deck Surface Free of Exposed Fasteners and SplintersWhether you're building a new deck or refinishing an old one, with the Kreg Deck Jig and a few simple tools you can create a beautiful and functional deck surface, completely free of exposed fasteners and painful splinters. Traditional concealed decking systems utilize awkward steel fasteners or thin plastic clips to hold your deck boards in place. The Kreg Deck Jig takes a more straightforward approach, creating an incredibly strong wood-to-wood bond through precisely placed self-tapping screws.
 No exposed nails or screws. |
The Deck Jig's specialized self tapping screws are driven at a precise angle into the edge of your deck boards so they stay hidden from view. Whereas seasonal changes might force traditional fasteners out of place with time, Kreg screws stay protected safely below the surface.
Three Simple StepsEven better, securing a deck board with the Kreg Deck Jig takes only three simple steps--just drill holes, drive the self-tapping screws, and you're done.
Works with a Variety of MaterialsThe Deck Jig works best with composite materials, but it's also compatible with native softwoods such as redwood and cedar, along with certain tropical hardwoods like red balau, and ironwood. Please note: It works exclusively with 4/4 to 5/4 (3/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch) stock and is not designed for use with 2x material including 2x4s, 2x6s, 2x8s, etc.

The jig works as advertised...mostly. There are a few things that I did differently than the instructions, once I used the jig for a few courses on my 1" cedar deck. Never start on the end! Setting the screws caused the board to pull over and out of alignment, and the system doesn't allow you to use the jig and a spacer on the same joist with 4" boards. I used the spacers and placed it behind the first 2 joist after the butt joint. pre-drilled first 6 holes on the board (2 end 45 holes, and the next 2 joist front & back), then making sure that the splice was still in the center of the joist and the deck board was spaced and aligned correctly, I would set the board, but at the next joist, and maybe the next. The go back and do the end. This way the board was locked and would not be "pulled" by the sinking of the screw. Also you should know that this will consume ALOT of time if you follow their process. Switching drill guns all the time is VERY laborious.

Kreg came out with a great idea that kept my cedar boards from splitting on the ends. Kreg had produced high quality items in the past but they need to go back and beef this item up. Not enough plastic to keep it from flexing and those bolt on guides should be molded into the handle. I'm afraid it won't stand up to winter work. The thin plastic will be brittle and I don't need down time. I also went to the square drive bit after 3 screws for better performance. I loved the finished product of hidden screws and can go back the cheaper plastic deck boards.
