What tools are required to install KindaDek decking? No special tools are required to install KindaDek. It is just as easy to work with as wood. When sawing, use a saw blade with fewer teeth (like 18 – 24 on a 450 mm blade). The blade will work easier, stay cooler and last longer.
What fasteners are recommended for KindaDek?
Any screws and nails work well with KindaDek. We recommend using high quality screws and nails such as stainless steel.
Does KindaDek require gapping between boards?
Yes. Changes in temperature will cause a slight expansion or contraction of KindaDek. Therefore, gapping is required both side-to-side and end-to-end of the boards.
What is the joist span for KindaDek boards?
The joists must be spaced according to the Span Chart below. Make sure that all joists are level and centred. The decking must span at least three joists.
