Safety Warning

Environment

A clean, smooth at and the strong surface are needed to install WoodEvo™ products. Please check with local building codes before installing any type of decking. If the installation does not occur immediately WoodEvo™ products need to keep on a at surface all the time.

Planning

Plan a layout for your decking before starting to ensure the best possible design and colour for your site. To do that you should have to visit our website and nd out more colours and designs.

Fire

Excessive heat on the surface of WoodEvo™ products from external sources such as re or reection sunlight from energy-efficient widow products can potentially harm WoodEvo™ products. Low-E glass is designed to prevent passive heat gain within a structure and can cause unusual heat build-up on the exterior surface. This extreme elevation of surface temperatures, which exceed that of normal exposure, can normally cause WoodEvo™ products to melt, sag, discolour, increase and accelerate weathering over time.

Care and Maintenance

WoodEvo™’s products need to be stored on a clean, at surface before installation. It is import-ant to protect WoodEvo™ decking boards from impacts from heavy and/or sharp objects while the installation is taking place. Covering the decking boards with a heavy fabric (eg. canvas) is recommended. It is also recommended that do not mark with oil pen and coloured pens. We recommend leaving the laying of your new deck until after all other works have been complet-ed. For general cleaning, use soap and water. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners with contents such as bleach, ammonia, petroleum, acid etc

Step 1. Lay The Sub Floor

1. WoodEvo™ decking boards can be installed on joists spaced 450mm apart.

2. WoodEvo™ decking boards must be laid at least 150mm from the ground.

Step 2. Placing The First Board

1. First, take 1 WoodEvo™ starting clip for each joist in the suboor.

2. Place a WoodEvo™ starting clip as close to the end of the suboor as able.

3. Drill a pilot hole through the clip hole, and then drive the screw into the hole, fastening the clip to the joist.

4.4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until all joists have 1 WoodEvo™ starting clip attached. It is important that these clips line up so that the decking board makes contact with every clip in the next step.

5. Take the rst decking board and cut it so it will cover all of the joists. 6.6. Slide the deck board into the WoodEvo™ starting clips.

Installation Steps

CAUTION - If your deck is over 5.4m wide and requires a butt joint, you must leave a gap between the ends of the decking boards of at least 3mm if the tempera-ture is over 4°C, or at least 5mm if the temperature is 4°C or cooler.

CAUTION - If the ends of the decking boards are laid against a wall or any other structure, you must leave a gap between the decking and the structure of at least 3mm if the temperature is over 4°C, or at least 5mm if the temperature is 4°C or cooler.

Step 3. Placing The Rest of The Boards

1. Once the rst board is installed, take 1 WoodEvo™ decking clip for each joist in the suboor. 2.2. Place each WoodEvo™ decking clip on a joist, slid-ing it into the deck board that was installed in Part 2. (can use a rubber hammer to gently force the board to be held rmly with the clip and make sure it is straight) The screw hole should still be visible when the clip is attached to the WoodEvo™ decking board.

3. Drill a pilot hole through each clip hole, and then drive the screw into the hole, fastening each clip to the joist.

4. Take another decking board and cut its size so it will cover the entire suboor.

5. Slide the decking board into the clip hiding the screw hole.

6.6. Repeat steps 2 to 6 until all joists are hidden by WoodEvo™ decking boards.

7. You may have to do a rip cut on the nal decking board. This will be hidden by the WoodEvo™ fascia.

8. Alternatively, you can use WoodEvo™ Edge Board as the last decking board. This board has one grooved side one solid side. The WoodEvo™ Edge Board is also appropriate for the construction of stairs.

Step 4. Final Board/Edge Board

1. For the nal board use the start/end fasteners and screw the fastener in from the side to x the last board in place.

Step 5. Installing Fascia Board

1. The WoodEvo™ fascia board is used to nish the deck and hide the grooves that are visible on the edge of the deck. 2. The fascia board can be attached with driven screws to the suboor.

3.3. Be careful to line up the edge of the deck with the edge of the fascia.
