Venture Decking

Power washers can be used to clean Deckorators decking products; however, a fan-tip nozzle should be used and the power washer should be set on the lowest setting.

In residential applications, Deckorators decking should be installed on joists spaced 16" on-center when the boards are running perpendicular to the support joists. Decking boards running on a diagonal pattern should be installed on joists spaced 12" on-center. Contact Deckorators Customer Service team at 800-556-8449 for commercial applications. For more details, refer to the installation instructions.

Major fastener manufacturers produce screws made specifically for composite decking. Use of these screws will reduce the amount of predrilling and countersinking required. For ease of installation, we recommend using 2-1/2" corrosion-resistant, composite wood deck screws. These screws help minimize the common "mushroom" effect that sometimes occurs when using standard fasteners. We recommend the Stowaway™ Hidden Fastener. We recommend using broad-head stainless steel 2" nails with Fastendry. If traditional fastening through the top of the decking is preferred, but a fastener-free appearance is still desired, Pro Fastening Systems are the fastest, easiest way to hide deck screw heads on stairs, perimeter boards or when replacing a deck board.
