Exodek Quick Clips install hardwood decking with a clean, fastener-free surface and consistent gapping. The project bucket holds 700 clips — enough for roughly 400 sq ft of 5/4x6 grooved decking — along with 700 screws, four T15 torx driver bits and 1/8″ shim stock for the starter board.
The clip is injection-molded from glass-infused nylon 6/6 and compresses up to 1/8″, so boards can swell in wet weather and shrink in dry weather without splitting the groove or working the fastener loose. It suits hardwood, softwood, thermally modified wood, composite and PVC decking milled to the standard side groove.
I was a little unsure which product I wanted to use on my new deck. But Jason and the team at Ghent helped guide me in the right direction. My deck turned out so beautiful and the clips used to install it allowed us to not have any screws showing. I am so happy with our decision. The best part is it requires little maintenance. This was as important to us along with being beautiful. I am so happy I shopped local and got an amazing product I can enjoy for years to come.
