Deck Plugs
Ensure the beauty of your deck!

Used for hiding fasteners in exterior decks and sidings, or as a complimentary color in hardwood floor applications. An effective alternative to undermount or bisquit types of deck installations.

Face Screw / Plug Method:
Countersink 3/8" holes into face of deck boards, approx. 1/4” deep. Pre-drill 1/8" pilot holes (or 9/64” if utilizing the recommended Swan Secure #7 trim-head stainless steel screws) completely through the deck boards. Drill bits are available that will both pilot and countersink in one bit. Screw the deck boards down with stainless screws. 3/8" plugs are then glued into the holes with waterproof glue (i.e. Gorilla brand glue, Marine Adhesive / Epoxy, etc.). Plugs are then knocked off with a chisel and sanded smooth with 80 grit sandpaper. A round orbit sander works well.

Obtain complete installation instructions for your particular specie, prior to installation of your deck boards.
