What do I do about cutting Ipe decking tiles on corners or curved areas?

Ipe Decking Tile Back Side Carriage

You can just simply cut the under carriage with a handsaw or jigsaw. You may however need to insert additional screws via the existing screw holes in the carriage base to ensure that each wood slat is still secured with a least two screws.  The carriage is the underside of the tile that the Ipe slats attach to. There are several stainless steel screws in various locations on the carriage. The carriage has holes designed for the stainless steel screws to go through and up into the back of the Ipe slat to secure the slat to the carriage. The carriage is made of very durable hardened plastic that can withstand extreme temperatures either hot or cold.
The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tiles can be purcvhased through Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com

Ipe Wood Plugs for Hardwood Decking

August 27th, 2009

Ipe Wood Plugs

Now available for sale at www.myocstore.com in 100pc counts these wood plugs are a must have when face mounting any hardwood deck surface with stainless steel screws to cover up the hole left behind after installing.

These wood plugs fill routed screw holes in the first and last boards of a deck when using hidden deck fasteners or any screw hole within the deck surface. The plugs are 3/8″ tapered so they preserve the seamless, no-holes beauty of the deck, and they are made from Ipé (ee-pay), a durable tropical hardwood and they won’t rot.

Which screws make the most scense when building a deck.

May 11th, 2009

I came across a great site which provides some useful information about which fasteners you should consider when building your new deck.  The website is www.mcfeeleys.com and they offer some great tips on various types of fasteners for various types of material such as pressure treated, cedar, tropical and composite. They even have a calculator which estimates the number of fasteners you will require.

Otter Creek currently sells two types of hidden fasteners for our customers who wish to have no screw holes showing in the top of their deck surface. The IpeClip and the EbTy Hidden Deck Fasteners work very well. We sell both of these hidden fasteners on our www.myocstore.com website.
