GENERAL INFORMATION PRODUCT INFORMATION

DuxxBak deck boards are made from a formulation of (reclaimed) paper by-product rice hulls (a rapidly renewable resource) HDPE and other high-quality materials Its properties are an innovative deviation from those of other manufactured-decking options Therefore DuxxBak has different handling and installation requirements which must be considered during planning and installation Following the tips and instructions provided here will help deliver a quality installation and assure many years of enjoyment

BUILDING CODES AND CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES

Be sure to follow all local building codes and use sound construction practices to ensure that your deck will provide many years of enjoyment If you are unfamiliar with building codes or standard construction methods consult with a professional

SUBSTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION Verify that the selected substructure lumber is sized correctly to provide a safe and compliant finished deck If you are unsure consulting with or hiring a professional is recommended Quality building materials should be selected to assure a long-lasting deck structure It is recommended that the moisture content of the substructure lumber be 19 or less Assure that the joist system is properly squared Make sure that each joist has no less than three points of contact with supporting components (beams andor ledger)

PROPER CAULK AND FLASHING SYSTEM Successful installation of your deck is dependent on proper sealing and flashing at the surfaces where the deck meets your home or other structure Water must be properly directed to avoid leakage Use the written and illustrated instructions that follow and adhere to the requirements of your local building code The following material suggestions may be beneficial bull Sealants Use the best performing sealants available

from your supplier to form water barriers at joints DuPont Residential Sealant or a 100 silicone caulk can be used

All DuxxBak deck boards have laser engraved identification information on the board edge which is repeated every 4 feet This information includes the product identification date and time of production production line identification and the ICC Report Number ndash ESR 1369

Typical woodworking tools are all thatrsquos needed No special tools are required

bull Sealing Tape Use the best sealing tape available from your supplier to form a waterproofing barrier at the point where the flashing and house wrap are joined DuPont Tyvek Tape can be used

bull Butyl Tape Use the best butyl tape available from your supplier to form a waterproofing barrier at those points where structural objects penetrate the deck to form a waterproofing seal A flexible wrap such as DuPont Flex Wrap NF can be used

bull Flashing Use exterior-grade vinyl coated aluminum or galvanized flashing rated for contact with your deckrsquos structural components

SUFFICIENT PITCH

Before installing DuxxBak decking be sure your deck structure has an unrestricted minimum pitch of 18rdquo or more per foot to help shed water from the deck surface Remember Pitch must run the lengthwise direction of the DuxxBak deck boards

General Notes bull Genuine Green Bay Decking screws or equivalent

are recommended bull Use 7 x 1-58rdquo GBD finish head screws when

fastening through the fastening wing or 7 x 2-12rdquo GBD finish head screws when fastening through the face of the board

bull Avoid the use of ldquocomposite screwsrdquomdashthose with reverse threads near the top end of the screwmdashas the reverse threads displace too much material compromising the attachment of decking to structure Ideally a screw with a smooth (non-threaded) shaft at its top should be used

bull Make sure the fastener coating is approved for use in your structural material

bull Stainless steel screws are recommended for use near salt water

Special design concepts may require that you and your designer consider how to best implement those concepts prior to construction to avoid problems during or after installation The following may be such situations bull DuxxBak decking is available in 12rsquo 16rsquo 20rsquo and 24rsquo

lengths Design concepts must be considered if conditions require longer spans to assure that water can properly shed from the deck Deck boards should not be butted end to end

bull Support posts that protrude through the decking surface

Build deck slope into the substructure as previously discussed in the section titled ldquoSufficient Pitchrdquo Remember that the deck pitch must be unrestricted Therefore a highpoint at a mid-deck point could cause water to flow in the reverse direction with the potential to cause water damage DuxxBak decking is designed for installation on joists that are spaced at 24rdquo or less on center Each joist should be installed with at least three points of attachment If a joist is attached to the ledger board and there is only one support beam internal blocking must be installed to stabilize the structure The mid-joist beam or blocking will also enable the installer to bring the entire deck structure into plane IDekk S4S deck boards can be used as stair treads to compliment the DuxxBak system Or DuxxBak deck boards can be used with the fastening wing ripped off and the edges sanded for uniform appearance

STORING amp HANDLING DUXXBAK

DuxxBak decking should be stored on a flat surface with supports every 48rdquo Do not stack decking more than four units (bundles) high Trim boards should have supports every 24rdquo to avoid sagging which can make proper installation challenging The cutting and drilling of DuxxBak decking does not produce respirable dust However it is always good idea to wear safety glasses amp hearing protection when working with construction materials

SUBSTRUCTURE FRAMING Plan your deck substructure to use current framing techniques as outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC) and your local building codes

bull Multi-level or multi-directional decking requirements

bull Transition from DuxxBak decking to other Green Bay Decking products

bull Hidden system to collect and divert water as it sheds from the deck edge

INSTALLATION HINTS

bull It is best to mark cut and install deck boards when they are all at similar temperature

bull If possible avoid installing your decking during extreme temperatures The ideal installation temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit

bull Lay the deck boards out prior to installation to determine the most pleasing effect of the grain pattern

bull Cut boards to length after installation allowing a 1-716rdquo overhang past the deck structure This will allow for the installation of a 716rdquo fascia board and a final overhang of 1rdquo

bull Fascia may be installed before or after decking installation

FASCIA INSTALLATION

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

FINAL PREPARATION

Here are a few final steps to take before beginning actual installation of the DuxxBak deck boards Step 1 Determine Your Starting Point Determine which side of the substructure will be the starting point for your deck If attaching to an inside corner of a house start on the end of the deck away from the house and work toward the house For a deck attached only at one edge you can choose either side as a starting point For the purposes of this installation guide wersquoll assume wersquore working with an inside-corner deck and wersquoll start the decking on the left side as we are looking at the back of the house from the rear yard Step 2 Assure most desired appearance Lay the deck boards out on the structure and look from different perspectives to determine how the deck will best show its unique brushed appearance Step 3 Prepare for flashing If possible remove the bottom course of siding to ease installation of flashing amp sealant as decking installation progresses Be sure to mark each piece of siding so that it can be reinstalled in the same place from which it was removed

Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joists and end joists) of the deck substructure bull Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every

12rdquo (or two every 12rdquo if the fascia has been ripped to 6rdquo or less)

bull It is possible to conceal the heads of the trim head screws in both decking and trim boards Simply drive the screws just below the surface of the board Then gather the material (which has been displaced by the screw) on top of the screw head and tap with a hammer

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 11 of 15

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

Install waterproofing butyl tape to the deck board (78rdquo) and obstruction at all locations where an obstruction penetrates the deck so that water does not find its way through the deck to the area below

STAIR INSTALLATION Use GeoDeck or TerrainDeck traditional S4S deck boards for the construction of stair treads for a safe installation You can also use DuxxBak deck boards with the wing ripped off and the edge routed or sanded Stair tread installation should be made on stair stringers that are no more than 12rdquo on center Leave a 316rdquo gap between the stair tread boards Install according to local codes and acceptable construction practices

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck

SUFFICIENT PITCH

Before installing DuxxBak decking be sure your deck structure has an unrestricted minimum pitch of 18rdquo or more per foot to help shed water from the deck surface Remember Pitch must run the lengthwise direction of the DuxxBak deck boards

General Notes bull Genuine Green Bay Decking screws or equivalent

are recommended bull Use 7 x 1-58rdquo GBD finish head screws when

fastening through the fastening wing or 7 x 2-12rdquo GBD finish head screws when fastening through the face of the board

bull Avoid the use of ldquocomposite screwsrdquomdashthose with reverse threads near the top end of the screwmdashas the reverse threads displace too much material compromising the attachment of decking to structure Ideally a screw with a smooth (non-threaded) shaft at its top should be used

bull Make sure the fastener coating is approved for use in your structural material

bull Stainless steel screws are recommended for use near salt water

Special design concepts may require that you and your designer consider how to best implement those concepts prior to construction to avoid problems during or after installation The following may be such situations bull DuxxBak decking is available in 12rsquo 16rsquo 20rsquo and 24rsquo

lengths Design concepts must be considered if conditions require longer spans to assure that water can properly shed from the deck Deck boards should not be butted end to end

bull Support posts that protrude through the decking surface

Build deck slope into the substructure as previously discussed in the section titled ldquoSufficient Pitchrdquo Remember that the deck pitch must be unrestricted Therefore a highpoint at a mid-deck point could cause water to flow in the reverse direction with the potential to cause water damage DuxxBak decking is designed for installation on joists that are spaced at 24rdquo or less on center Each joist should be installed with at least three points of attachment If a joist is attached to the ledger board and there is only one support beam internal blocking must be installed to stabilize the structure The mid-joist beam or blocking will also enable the installer to bring the entire deck structure into plane IDekk S4S deck boards can be used as stair treads to compliment the DuxxBak system Or DuxxBak deck boards can be used with the fastening wing ripped off and the edges sanded for uniform appearance

STORING amp HANDLING DUXXBAK

DuxxBak decking should be stored on a flat surface with supports every 48rdquo Do not stack decking more than four units (bundles) high Trim boards should have supports every 24rdquo to avoid sagging which can make proper installation challenging The cutting and drilling of DuxxBak decking does not produce respirable dust However it is always good idea to wear safety glasses amp hearing protection when working with construction materials

SUBSTRUCTURE FRAMING Plan your deck substructure to use current framing techniques as outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC) and your local building codes

bull Multi-level or multi-directional decking requirements

bull Transition from DuxxBak decking to other Green Bay Decking products

bull Hidden system to collect and divert water as it sheds from the deck edge

INSTALLATION HINTS

bull It is best to mark cut and install deck boards when they are all at similar temperature

bull If possible avoid installing your decking during extreme temperatures The ideal installation temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit

bull Lay the deck boards out prior to installation to determine the most pleasing effect of the grain pattern

bull Cut boards to length after installation allowing a 1-716rdquo overhang past the deck structure This will allow for the installation of a 716rdquo fascia board and a final overhang of 1rdquo

bull Fascia may be installed before or after decking installation

FASCIA INSTALLATION

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

FINAL PREPARATION

Here are a few final steps to take before beginning actual installation of the DuxxBak deck boards Step 1 Determine Your Starting Point Determine which side of the substructure will be the starting point for your deck If attaching to an inside corner of a house start on the end of the deck away from the house and work toward the house For a deck attached only at one edge you can choose either side as a starting point For the purposes of this installation guide wersquoll assume wersquore working with an inside-corner deck and wersquoll start the decking on the left side as we are looking at the back of the house from the rear yard Step 2 Assure most desired appearance Lay the deck boards out on the structure and look from different perspectives to determine how the deck will best show its unique brushed appearance Step 3 Prepare for flashing If possible remove the bottom course of siding to ease installation of flashing amp sealant as decking installation progresses Be sure to mark each piece of siding so that it can be reinstalled in the same place from which it was removed

Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joists and end joists) of the deck substructure bull Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every

12rdquo (or two every 12rdquo if the fascia has been ripped to 6rdquo or less)

bull It is possible to conceal the heads of the trim head screws in both decking and trim boards Simply drive the screws just below the surface of the board Then gather the material (which has been displaced by the screw) on top of the screw head and tap with a hammer

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 11 of 15

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

Install waterproofing butyl tape to the deck board (78rdquo) and obstruction at all locations where an obstruction penetrates the deck so that water does not find its way through the deck to the area below

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 12 of 15

STAIR INSTALLATION Use GeoDeck or TerrainDeck traditional S4S deck boards for the construction of stair treads for a safe installation You can also use DuxxBak deck boards with the wing ripped off and the edge routed or sanded Stair tread installation should be made on stair stringers that are no more than 12rdquo on center Leave a 316rdquo gap between the stair tread boards Install according to local codes and acceptable construction practices

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck

SUFFICIENT PITCH

Before installing DuxxBak decking be sure your deck structure has an unrestricted minimum pitch of 18rdquo or more per foot to help shed water from the deck surface Remember Pitch must run the lengthwise direction of the DuxxBak deck boards

General Notes bull Genuine Green Bay Decking screws or equivalent

are recommended bull Use 7 x 1-58rdquo GBD finish head screws when

fastening through the fastening wing or 7 x 2-12rdquo GBD finish head screws when fastening through the face of the board

bull Avoid the use of ldquocomposite screwsrdquomdashthose with reverse threads near the top end of the screwmdashas the reverse threads displace too much material compromising the attachment of decking to structure Ideally a screw with a smooth (non-threaded) shaft at its top should be used

bull Make sure the fastener coating is approved for use in your structural material

bull Stainless steel screws are recommended for use near salt water

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

FINAL PREPARATION

Here are a few final steps to take before beginning actual installation of the DuxxBak deck boards Step 1 Determine Your Starting Point Determine which side of the substructure will be the starting point for your deck If attaching to an inside corner of a house start on the end of the deck away from the house and work toward the house For a deck attached only at one edge you can choose either side as a starting point For the purposes of this installation guide wersquoll assume wersquore working with an inside-corner deck and wersquoll start the decking on the left side as we are looking at the back of the house from the rear yard Step 2 Assure most desired appearance Lay the deck boards out on the structure and look from different perspectives to determine how the deck will best show its unique brushed appearance Step 3 Prepare for flashing If possible remove the bottom course of siding to ease installation of flashing amp sealant as decking installation progresses Be sure to mark each piece of siding so that it can be reinstalled in the same place from which it was removed

Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joists and end joists) of the deck substructure bull Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every

12rdquo (or two every 12rdquo if the fascia has been ripped to 6rdquo or less)

bull It is possible to conceal the heads of the trim head screws in both decking and trim boards Simply drive the screws just below the surface of the board Then gather the material (which has been displaced by the screw) on top of the screw head and tap with a hammer

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 11 of 15

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

Install waterproofing butyl tape to the deck board (78rdquo) and obstruction at all locations where an obstruction penetrates the deck so that water does not find its way through the deck to the area below

STAIR INSTALLATION Use GeoDeck or TerrainDeck traditional S4S deck boards for the construction of stair treads for a safe installation You can also use DuxxBak deck boards with the wing ripped off and the edge routed or sanded Stair tread installation should be made on stair stringers that are no more than 12rdquo on center Leave a 316rdquo gap between the stair tread boards Install according to local codes and acceptable construction practices

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck

SUFFICIENT PITCH

Before installing DuxxBak decking be sure your deck structure has an unrestricted minimum pitch of 18rdquo or more per foot to help shed water from the deck surface Remember Pitch must run the lengthwise direction of the DuxxBak deck boards

General Notes bull Genuine Green Bay Decking screws or equivalent

are recommended bull Use 7 x 1-58rdquo GBD finish head screws when

fastening through the fastening wing or 7 x 2-12rdquo GBD finish head screws when fastening through the face of the board

bull Avoid the use of ldquocomposite screwsrdquomdashthose with reverse threads near the top end of the screwmdashas the reverse threads displace too much material compromising the attachment of decking to structure Ideally a screw with a smooth (non-threaded) shaft at its top should be used

bull Make sure the fastener coating is approved for use in your structural material

bull Stainless steel screws are recommended for use near salt water

Special design concepts may require that you and your designer consider how to best implement those concepts prior to construction to avoid problems during or after installation The following may be such situations bull DuxxBak decking is available in 12rsquo 16rsquo 20rsquo and 24rsquo

lengths Design concepts must be considered if conditions require longer spans to assure that water can properly shed from the deck Deck boards should not be butted end to end

bull Support posts that protrude through the decking surface

Build deck slope into the substructure as previously discussed in the section titled ldquoSufficient Pitchrdquo Remember that the deck pitch must be unrestricted Therefore a highpoint at a mid-deck point could cause water to flow in the reverse direction with the potential to cause water damage DuxxBak decking is designed for installation on joists that are spaced at 24rdquo or less on center Each joist should be installed with at least three points of attachment If a joist is attached to the ledger board and there is only one support beam internal blocking must be installed to stabilize the structure The mid-joist beam or blocking will also enable the installer to bring the entire deck structure into plane IDekk S4S deck boards can be used as stair treads to compliment the DuxxBak system Or DuxxBak deck boards can be used with the fastening wing ripped off and the edges sanded for uniform appearance

STORING amp HANDLING DUXXBAK

DuxxBak decking should be stored on a flat surface with supports every 48rdquo Do not stack decking more than four units (bundles) high Trim boards should have supports every 24rdquo to avoid sagging which can make proper installation challenging The cutting and drilling of DuxxBak decking does not produce respirable dust However it is always good idea to wear safety glasses amp hearing protection when working with construction materials

SUBSTRUCTURE FRAMING Plan your deck substructure to use current framing techniques as outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC) and your local building codes

bull Multi-level or multi-directional decking requirements

bull Transition from DuxxBak decking to other Green Bay Decking products

bull Hidden system to collect and divert water as it sheds from the deck edge

INSTALLATION HINTS

bull It is best to mark cut and install deck boards when they are all at similar temperature

bull If possible avoid installing your decking during extreme temperatures The ideal installation temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit

bull Lay the deck boards out prior to installation to determine the most pleasing effect of the grain pattern

bull Cut boards to length after installation allowing a 1-716rdquo overhang past the deck structure This will allow for the installation of a 716rdquo fascia board and a final overhang of 1rdquo

bull Fascia may be installed before or after decking installation

FASCIA INSTALLATION

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

SUFFICIENT PITCH

Before installing DuxxBak decking be sure your deck structure has an unrestricted minimum pitch of 18rdquo or more per foot to help shed water from the deck surface Remember Pitch must run the lengthwise direction of the DuxxBak deck boards

General Notes bull Genuine Green Bay Decking screws or equivalent

are recommended bull Use 7 x 1-58rdquo GBD finish head screws when

fastening through the fastening wing or 7 x 2-12rdquo GBD finish head screws when fastening through the face of the board

bull Avoid the use of ldquocomposite screwsrdquomdashthose with reverse threads near the top end of the screwmdashas the reverse threads displace too much material compromising the attachment of decking to structure Ideally a screw with a smooth (non-threaded) shaft at its top should be used

bull Make sure the fastener coating is approved for use in your structural material

bull Stainless steel screws are recommended for use near salt water

Special design concepts may require that you and your designer consider how to best implement those concepts prior to construction to avoid problems during or after installation The following may be such situations bull DuxxBak decking is available in 12rsquo 16rsquo 20rsquo and 24rsquo

lengths Design concepts must be considered if conditions require longer spans to assure that water can properly shed from the deck Deck boards should not be butted end to end

bull Support posts that protrude through the decking surface

Build deck slope into the substructure as previously discussed in the section titled ldquoSufficient Pitchrdquo Remember that the deck pitch must be unrestricted Therefore a highpoint at a mid-deck point could cause water to flow in the reverse direction with the potential to cause water damage DuxxBak decking is designed for installation on joists that are spaced at 24rdquo or less on center Each joist should be installed with at least three points of attachment If a joist is attached to the ledger board and there is only one support beam internal blocking must be installed to stabilize the structure The mid-joist beam or blocking will also enable the installer to bring the entire deck structure into plane IDekk S4S deck boards can be used as stair treads to compliment the DuxxBak system Or DuxxBak deck boards can be used with the fastening wing ripped off and the edges sanded for uniform appearance

STORING amp HANDLING DUXXBAK

DuxxBak decking should be stored on a flat surface with supports every 48rdquo Do not stack decking more than four units (bundles) high Trim boards should have supports every 24rdquo to avoid sagging which can make proper installation challenging The cutting and drilling of DuxxBak decking does not produce respirable dust However it is always good idea to wear safety glasses amp hearing protection when working with construction materials

SUBSTRUCTURE FRAMING Plan your deck substructure to use current framing techniques as outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC) and your local building codes

bull Multi-level or multi-directional decking requirements

bull Transition from DuxxBak decking to other Green Bay Decking products

bull Hidden system to collect and divert water as it sheds from the deck edge

INSTALLATION HINTS

bull It is best to mark cut and install deck boards when they are all at similar temperature

bull If possible avoid installing your decking during extreme temperatures The ideal installation temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit

bull Lay the deck boards out prior to installation to determine the most pleasing effect of the grain pattern

bull Cut boards to length after installation allowing a 1-716rdquo overhang past the deck structure This will allow for the installation of a 716rdquo fascia board and a final overhang of 1rdquo

bull Fascia may be installed before or after decking installation

FASCIA INSTALLATION

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

FINAL PREPARATION

Here are a few final steps to take before beginning actual installation of the DuxxBak deck boards Step 1 Determine Your Starting Point Determine which side of the substructure will be the starting point for your deck If attaching to an inside corner of a house start on the end of the deck away from the house and work toward the house For a deck attached only at one edge you can choose either side as a starting point For the purposes of this installation guide wersquoll assume wersquore working with an inside-corner deck and wersquoll start the decking on the left side as we are looking at the back of the house from the rear yard Step 2 Assure most desired appearance Lay the deck boards out on the structure and look from different perspectives to determine how the deck will best show its unique brushed appearance Step 3 Prepare for flashing If possible remove the bottom course of siding to ease installation of flashing amp sealant as decking installation progresses Be sure to mark each piece of siding so that it can be reinstalled in the same place from which it was removed

Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joists and end joists) of the deck substructure bull Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every

12rdquo (or two every 12rdquo if the fascia has been ripped to 6rdquo or less)

bull It is possible to conceal the heads of the trim head screws in both decking and trim boards Simply drive the screws just below the surface of the board Then gather the material (which has been displaced by the screw) on top of the screw head and tap with a hammer

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 11 of 15

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

INSTALLATION HINTS

bull It is best to mark cut and install deck boards when they are all at similar temperature

bull If possible avoid installing your decking during extreme temperatures The ideal installation temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit

bull Lay the deck boards out prior to installation to determine the most pleasing effect of the grain pattern

bull Cut boards to length after installation allowing a 1-716rdquo overhang past the deck structure This will allow for the installation of a 716rdquo fascia board and a final overhang of 1rdquo

bull Fascia may be installed before or after decking installation

FASCIA INSTALLATION

bull End-to-end ldquobutt-jointsrdquo must have a 316rdquo minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints as follow

o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together

o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1rdquo-2rdquo in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie As the fascia opens and closes the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible

bull The same 316rdquo gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction (Please see illustration) Alternatively the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap

FINAL PREPARATION

Here are a few final steps to take before beginning actual installation of the DuxxBak deck boards Step 1 Determine Your Starting Point Determine which side of the substructure will be the starting point for your deck If attaching to an inside corner of a house start on the end of the deck away from the house and work toward the house For a deck attached only at one edge you can choose either side as a starting point For the purposes of this installation guide wersquoll assume wersquore working with an inside-corner deck and wersquoll start the decking on the left side as we are looking at the back of the house from the rear yard Step 2 Assure most desired appearance Lay the deck boards out on the structure and look from different perspectives to determine how the deck will best show its unique brushed appearance Step 3 Prepare for flashing If possible remove the bottom course of siding to ease installation of flashing amp sealant as decking installation progresses Be sure to mark each piece of siding so that it can be reinstalled in the same place from which it was removed

Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joists and end joists) of the deck substructure bull Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every

12rdquo (or two every 12rdquo if the fascia has been ripped to 6rdquo or less)

bull It is possible to conceal the heads of the trim head screws in both decking and trim boards Simply drive the screws just below the surface of the board Then gather the material (which has been displaced by the screw) on top of the screw head and tap with a hammer

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

Install waterproofing butyl tape to the deck board (78rdquo) and obstruction at all locations where an obstruction penetrates the deck so that water does not find its way through the deck to the area below

STAIR INSTALLATION Use GeoDeck or TerrainDeck traditional S4S deck boards for the construction of stair treads for a safe installation You can also use DuxxBak deck boards with the wing ripped off and the edge routed or sanded Stair tread installation should be made on stair stringers that are no more than 12rdquo on center Leave a 316rdquo gap between the stair tread boards Install according to local codes and acceptable construction practices

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck

Installation Guide

Position the first board on the deck with the fastening wing to the right with the board overhanging the edge of the structure 1 916rdquo (or past the installed fascia board 1rdquo) A 316rdquo gap must be allowed where the end of the board meets the house Notch the first and second boards if necessary to allow for any obstruction that will penetrate the decking surface such as wooden railing posts Cut the notches to allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of obstructions After notching the second board to allow penetration of obstructions place a bead of quality sealant in the interlocking groove of the second board to prevent water penetration into the now-interrupted drainage channel below Because the railing post will interrupt the channel any water entering the channel could become trapped Note If there are no obstructions such as wooden railing posts there is no need to insert sealant in the interlocking groove between the courses

If the length of the board will be placed along a wall of the house also place a bead of sealant on the joist where the board will rest

Step 1 Install the first deck board Cut the entire groove wing (1-916rdquo cut) away from the first board to leave a smooth outer surface A sander or router can be used to make the cut edge more uniform in appearance and to round over the cut edge

Place a bead of sealant on the joist where the end of the deck board end will rest at the house side of the deck

Assure that the first deck board is properly positioned and is square to the structure Secure the deck board to the joists by inserting one 3-inch trim head screw through the face of the board at each joist with the screw being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of highest strength Set the screw heads just below the top surface of the board to avoid pullout and to partially conceal the screw head Complete the installation of the first board by inserting a 1-58rdquo trim screw through the fastening wing at each joist Insert the screw at an approximate 55 degree angle (Please see illustration)

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 9 of 15

Step 2 Install the second and subsequent deck boards With the first and each subsequent board insert a bead of sealant onto the end joist under where the board will be installed closest to the house And apply a generous dollop of sealant into the drainage channel closest to the house to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown backward through the channel toward the house Position the second and subsequent boards by installing the groove of the board being installed over the tongue of the previous board to lock the boards together allowing a minimum 316rdquo from the board ends to the wall Notch each subsequent board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed

Notch the board as necessary to allow for obstructions that may penetrate the deck substructure at the point where the board is being installed Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board As with all obstruction-based notches place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove if the board seam will intersect an obstruction to assure that water will not find its way through the deck to the surface below Place a bead of sealant along any joist where the deck board will rest at the house side of the deck Secure the last deck board to the joists by inserting two trim head screws through the face of the board at each joist with the fastener being placed near a septum of the deck board to take advantage of the points of strength Assure that the screw heads are seated just below the top surface of the board

Step 4 Install seal and flash Cut and dry-fit a piece of corrosion-resistant flashing to be installed behind the house-wrap membrane and on top of the decking The flashing should be bent to just less than 90-degrees so that when installed it will naturally compress against the wall and the deck and will shed water away from the house Set the flashing aside until the sealant described below is in place

Allow for a clearance of 316rdquo on all sides of posts or other structure obstructions when installing the deck board And once again at any point where an obstruction interferes with the flow of water through the channel place a bead of sealant in the interlocking groove so that water will not find its way through the deck surface into the drainage channel where it may become trapped Insert one fastener through the fastening wing at each joist Do not fasten through the face of the deck board except on your first and last board Continue to check for square as the installation moves along Step 3 Install the final deck board Cut the final board to length allowing a 1rdquo overhang at the outer end of the deck and allowing for the 316rdquo gap at the end of the board that intersects the house If the final board will be against the house rip it to at least 316rdquo less than the distance to the house If the final board will overhang the deck rip it at a septum to overhang the fascia an acceptable distance

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 10 of 15

Place a bead of sealant on top of the decking in the area that will be under the flashing before the flashing is put into its final position

Move the flashing into position behind the house wrap material and over the decking so that the sealant is bonded to the decking and flashing

Seal the flashing to the wall under the house wrap using a sealing tape to assure that any moisture that penetrates the house wrap will not find its way behind the flashing

Turn the house wrap material down over the flashing and seal the house wrap material to the flashing with a sealing tape

Install or reinstall siding if it has been removed for the deck installation

Place a bead of sealant between the board ends and the wall extending the sealant outward approximately 12ldquo from the wall on top of each board seam

wwwGreenBayDeckingcom June 28 2017 V136 Page 11 of 15

The waterproofing butyl tape will be concealed by the post sleeve and base trim when the rail system is installed

Step 5 Install end caps to exposed board ends Install the end caps selecting right end caps if the board tongue is on the right side as you face the deck Select left end caps if the board tongue is on the left as you face the deck bull Insert the end cap with the drain slots down and the

arrow pointing up and secure with two stainless steel brad nails or screws inserted up through the bottom of the deck board Be sure to predrill for these fasteners

Step 6 Install gutters Install system per your design concept Step 7 Completion bull Install rail system to assure the safety of those who

will use your deck bull Enjoy your new deck

Install waterproofing butyl tape to the deck board (78rdquo) and obstruction at all locations where an obstruction penetrates the deck so that water does not find its way through the deck to the area below

STAIR INSTALLATION Use GeoDeck or TerrainDeck traditional S4S deck boards for the construction of stair treads for a safe installation You can also use DuxxBak deck boards with the wing ripped off and the edge routed or sanded Stair tread installation should be made on stair stringers that are no more than 12rdquo on center Leave a 316rdquo gap between the stair tread boards Install according to local codes and acceptable construction practices

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck

Occasional cleaning will help to keep your deck looking fresh Regular cleaning will help to keep the brushed surface and grooves between the deck boards free of debris A nylon bristle brush or broom will make the task easier A pressure washer with a fan tip may be carefully used to clean your deck if it is guided along in the direction of the grain Always test a small area to assure that the surface texture is not damaged Always follow safety precautions Although your DuxxBaktrade Water Shedding Deck System is durable care should be taken to avoid scratching If scratches do appear it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless steel brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches Always test a small area before proceeding Many stains can be removed with an all-purpose household cleaner concentrated dish soap laundry detergent degreaser or deck cleaner Fresh stains are usually more easily removed and a nylon bristle brush will help achieve the best results Always test a small area before proceeding

Mold and mildew that may form on the surface of your deck are environmentally generated and will not damage your deck These can generally be removed with cleaners that are designed to remove mold and mildew along with the use of a pressure washer and nylon bristle brush as described above Always test a small area before proceeding Always make necessary repairs to maintain a safe and enjoyable deck
