Will I need to
replace my CorrectDeck deck
boards if the substructure needs
to be replaced?
In this case, you will not need
to purchase new CorrectDeck
decking materials. If the substructure
is deteriorating and needs to
be replaced, all you will need
to do is unscrew the fastenators
(or the screws…depending
on how you originally installed
the CorrectDeck product), remove
the CorrectDeck boards, replace
the complete substructure and
reattach the CorrectDeck boards.

What type of
lumber should I use for framing
my project?
We always suggest that our customers
choose KDAT stamped framing
lumber. This wood will be straighter
and will also be lighter and
easier to handle, and won't
shrink and expand as much during
and after the deck project.
The reason why we make this
suggestion is that we have seen
a large decline in the quality
of treated wood in the marketplace
in the last 3 years, and it
causes us frequent complaints
and problems. The primary change
has been a cost-saving move
to skipping the KDAT (kiln-dried
after treatment) step. This
results in wood that twists
and shrinks a lot after the
deck frame is nailed together;
resulting problems are often
blamed on the decking surface.

What type of
fastener should I use for the
CorrectDeck Channeled boards?
The CorrectDeck Fastenator can
be applied with staples or trim
head screws. Pre-loaded Fastenators
(with #7 x 2 ¼”
trim head screws) can really
speed up installation time.

under CorrectDeck?

growth from under you deck;
