DeckWise™ Deck Tile Connector Installation Guide

Make sure the surface being covered is relatively flat and free of anything that may get in the way of installation such as sticks, rocks or furniture. Then choose one corner of the area to begin working in. Optionally, you may snap a chalk line to have a straight line to follow during installation.

Many wood-backed deck tiles are milled with four predrilled holes located in each corner. The Deck Tile Connector fits each of these holes with four specially designed ribbed pins (aka Pine tree fasteners). For a secure fit, simply set one of the tiles onto the preinstalled fasteners.

Once the first tile is laid, you can proceed placing the other tiles onto the remaining pins. The Deck Tile Connector automatically sets the gap spacing to 3/8" so you won't have to worry about an uneven look.

Work Smart & work SAFE! always cut in the direction away from your body and hands.

Using Tile Connectors on edges or corners:
Simply score the connector using a utility knife along the pre-molded grooves that mark the edges of the built in spacers. Bend the edges downward to snap the connector in half. repeat the same process to use a quarter of the connector to install on the corners of your deck tiles.

NOTE: You can use both halves of a halved, or quartered tile connector on either hidden or exposed edges. You can also use the edge with the spacer to provide a gap between your new deck and any adjacent structure such as a house, fence, or wall.

DeckWise™ Deck Tile Connectors have predrilled countersink holes ready for fastening to an existing surface or sub-structure.
