Q&A

Is this jig getting deleted?

Yes, the Deck Jig is discontinued.

Are the holes in the guide the same as other kreg products?

Yes, there are drill guide that guide the drill bit when drilling the holes and driver bit for driving the screws

I have a couple of questions about Trex composite deck boards and using your deck jig and fasteners. I'm buying Trex Enhance Basic composite deck boards (square, not grooved) but the bottom of the Trex boards are not flat, the board have channels running the length of each board. Can you tell me if the design of the Kreg deck jig drilling and fastening deck boards would be compatible with the Trex channel bottom deck boards? Which fastener would be compatible with a composite deck board?

The Deck Jig will only work with the squared edges. If it has a groove down the edge, the jig will not work.

Decks: how many screws are needed per meter of each board, considering hard wood boards? Screws are placed in both sides of the board? or just in one of its sides? Which is the minimum space between boards in order to place screws from both sides?

There will be a screw on each side of the board on each joist along the whole board.

Has this jig been discontinued? If so, is a replacement/upgrade coming out?

Yes, the Deck Jig has been discontinued.

Will this work with composite boards with scalloped backs?

It will work with composite with that type of back that also has the straight edges and not grooved edges.

Will this work with a composite tongue and groove decking. What they call porch decking.

No, this will only work on straight edged lumber.

Hello! Can the two outside screw hole guides be repositioned to face inward, toward the middle screw? I'm looking to screw top and bottom horizontal deck railing 2x6 planks into 6x6 posts.

No, they are fixes at the angle they are on the jig.

Can this be used on Ipe or cumaru T&G decking? Only one side of the board would need to be drilled.

No this can not be used with tongue and groove. The sides need to be straight.

I am using pressure treated 1"x6" deck boards. With the side mounted screw, what happened if and when the board shrink? Thanks

We do not recommend using this with pressure treaded lumber.
