Product Requirements
When using Tiger Claw fasteners please review and comply with these requirements to obtain proper installation. Failure to follow these requirements may result in deck failure and/or void of warranty. Inspect decking material prior to installation. Omit any planks that contain hooks, twists, splits, cracks, or other defects. It is recommended to Always install decking with the crown upward.
When Using
Recommended for use in softwood decking measuring 1” or thicker lumber. Softwood decking will inherently experience shrinkage. When using decking material prone to high shrinkage, decking should be installed tightly together allowing shrinkage to provide gap over time. Shrinkage of decking board width must be limited to a maximum of 1/4". Ask your lumber provider for information on expected expansion and/or contraction of material for your particular climate.
