What is the best way to install composite decking?
I am installing VERANDA composite decking and bought the recommended composite screws. I am finding it extremely difficult to install these screws, even when drilling pilot holes (which I really don’t want to do for every hole – this is a large deck). The product info says there is no pre-drilling required, but I’m not finding that to be true. Does anyone have any tips for me to make this a little easier and less time consuming? I’m using a Black and Decker drill/screwdriver. There are many ways to install this type of decking today. But rather than pre-drilling I am going to list several ways that are gaining popularity. But you need to check with your building inspector as just because these ways have been proven to be a success, they must still be written into local building code and passed into law. That is something done about every 5 years. First buy a good Screw/Decking gun if your deck it that big. It will be worth the money. Even for the home novice I use this one myself DeWal
