Installing the First Board
1. Apply a bead of exterior
construction adhesive to each
joist—about
3
⁄8" wide.
2. Fasten one side of the first
deck board using screws and
plugs. Use a
1
⁄8" drill bit with a
3
⁄8" countersink. Drive in a #7 x
2¼" stainless trim-head screw
(included) at each joist of the
first deck board.
3. Glue and insert
3
⁄8" Ipe Tapered
Wood Plugs (included) into
each countersunk hole. Remove
any part of the wood plug that
protrudes, using a saw or belt
sander. Wood Plugs not used
with EBTYP product.
4. If using pre-grooved decking
please disregard the next two
bullets (turn page over for pre-
grooved decking details.)
5. Cut a slot in deck board at each
joist and deck board intersection
using a
1
⁄8" router bit or plate
joiner (biscuit cutter #20).
6. Adjust router or plate joiner
(biscuit cutter) height so that
the bottom edge of the fastener
is flush with the bottom of the
deck board. If using pre-grooved
decking, no slot is necessary.
7. Drill an angled
1
⁄8" pilot hole
for each screw when installing
hardwood decking. Pilot hole not
necessary with EBTYP product.
8. Place fasteners in the slots
at each joist. Install one #7 x
2¼" stainless trim-head screw
(included) in each fastener at a
45-degree angle. Tighten snugly
to the EB-TY fasteners. Fastener
installed at 90-degree angle in
EBTYP product.

Installing Additional
Deck Boards
1. Apply a bead of exterior
construction adhesive to each
joist, approximately
3
⁄8" wide.
2. Cut a slot at each intersection
with joist on each side of the
next board.
3. Place the board so the slot slips
over the exposed fasteners.
Use a BoWrench
®
or a clamp to
straighten boards, if necessary.
4. Place EB-TY fasteners in the
slot at each joist. Install one
#7 x 2¼" stainless trim-head
screw (included) in each
fastener at a 45-degree angle
(90-degree angle for EBTYP
product). Tighten snugly
to the EB-TY fasteners.
5. Repeat above process until all
decking is fastened, with the
exception of the final outside
board. Install the final outside
board by cutting slots only on the
inside of the board and tighten
snugly to the EB-TY fasteners.
