Customer Reviews

Composite Deck Spacing
I purchased five of these spacers to install composite decking which has to maintain proper spacing along the sides and at both ends. The spacers worked perfectly and, when placed along the length and at both ends, allowed accurate attachment of the deck material. I used the 3/16 side for the length and the 1/8 side for the end joints. This tool is a must have for installation of composite materials.

Excellent product
This is an excellent product. I used it to space and fasten composite deck planks. The two functions the device performs:

1. As a jig for locating nail holes. Since I chose traditional screws, the gauge, when aligned above a joist, allowed for me to punch the hole locations in two adjacent planks. It also worked to properly align fasteners on butt-joined decking. I used a 2x1/4" screws as centerpunches - and the job flew by.

2. To space the deckboards. The gauge has a side for 3/16" spacing, and if you flip it over, the gauge is 1/8" thick. I found having both thicknesses handy to ensure that my deckboards were running parallel to the house. If after a few boards, one side was creeping out of parallel, I simply used the thicker spacing to bring the boards in line with the house.

With two people and two gauges - any decking job will fly by.

Great Tool
this made installing the deck boards evenly an easy job! Big bang for the buck.
