The Ecoscape Composite Decking Locking Clip is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, secure fastening solution for their outdoor decking projects. These clips are engineered to provide a firm grip on boards while allowing for natural material movement, though they require precise placement at the center of each board to maintain structural integrity. This 50-pack ensures you have sufficient fasteners to anchor your decking securely against thermal expansion and contraction.

You only need one locking clip per board, placed at the center point where the board meets the sub-structure.
These clips are designed specifically for composite decking boards that feature a compatible edge groove.
They hold the boards securely at the center, but they are designed to allow for controlled expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.
The system is designed for one clip per board. Using additional clips may restrict the material's natural movement, which can lead to board stress or warping.
The serrated teeth provide extra friction and mechanical grip, ensuring the board stays firmly locked in place against the sub-structure.
Verify that the locking clip is installed at the exact center point of the board and is securely fastened to the sub-structure.
Ensure that the groove is free of debris and that you are not attempting to force the clip into a non-compatible board edge.
Installation of the Ecoscape Locking Clip should be performed after the initial decking boards are positioned on the sub-frame. Identify the center point of each board where it sits over a joist. Insert the locking clip into the board's groove and secure it to the sub-structure following your deck framing layout. Ensure the clip is seated flush to avoid any unevenness in the finished deck surface.
Care instructions involve periodic visual inspections; check the deck surface annually for any signs of loose boards or shifted fasteners, especially after extreme weather cycles. If a board feels loose, verify that the central locking clip is still tightened correctly to the joist.
