Deck glider

Hidden fastening of deck boards

Installation instructions for the deck glider

To fasten the boards in place, the gliders are first screwed onto the underside of the boards and then screwed onto the substructure from above. This fastening type avoids direct connections to the substructure. The deck boards therefore have greater freedom of movement (via the deck glider). Per glider, we recommend using two screws for fastening the glider onto the board and two screws for fastening the glider onto the substructure. For the Mini deck glider, you should use two screws for fastening the Mini deck glider onto the board and one screw for fastening it to the substructure. The deck gliders are suitable for boards with a width of 80 to 160 mm and a thickness of 20 to 30 mm. The Mini deck gliders are suitable for boards with a width of 90 mm to 100 mm and a minimum board thickness of 20 mm.
* Clearance of bearing beams = 600 mm, board width = 145 mm, Joint dimension = 5 mm (depending on type of timber). Please use deck start and end gliders or the starter clip for the first and last bearing beams, and for the board butts.
You will need at least four screws for each deck glider; these are included with the gliders.
