Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these clips rust-proof?

They are made of stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and rust in typical outdoor environments.

How many clips do I need per board?

The manufacturer recommends 12 clips per board length to maintain structural integrity.

Can I use these on timber decking?

No, these clips are specifically engineered for use with Grooved Composite Decking Boards.

What is the warranty on these clips?

The GSA03 clips come with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Do I need to maintain the clips?

No, the product is maintenance-free and resistant to warping, rotting, and algae growth.

What is the recommended joist spacing?

A minimum of 300mm centres is required for the sub-frame to support the decking boards correctly.

Troubleshooting

The clip does not sit flush in the board groove

Verify that your decking board is a standard 'Grooved' profile compatible with the GSA03 specifications.

Board feels loose after installation

Check that you have used the required 12 clips per length and that each clip is securely fastened to the joist at 300mm centres.

Gap between boards appears irregular

Ensure that the board is pushed completely against the clip body before fastening the next clip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

These clips are exclusively compatible with Standard Woodgrain and Grooved Composite Decking Boards. Do not attempt to use these with traditional natural timber as the groove dimensions will not align, and the material properties differ.

Setup Requirements

  1. Ensure the sub-frame is level and the joists are set at a maximum of 300mm centres.
  2. Begin by securing the first board using starter clips, then slide the GSA03 clip into the groove of the board.
  3. Position the clip over the joist and fasten securely.
  4. Slide the subsequent board into the other side of the clip.

Care and Maintenance

These clips are maintenance-free. Periodically inspect the deck surface to ensure that no debris has clogged the 6mm gaps, which helps maintain the drainage integrity of the system.
