STARBORN® PRO PLUG SYSTEM

STARBORN® COLOR-MATCHED SCREWS

FOR FASCIA BOARD INSTALLATION: 

The Starborn Deckfast Fascia System features colored screws that complement our deck board offering. 

A pre-drill tool, that creates an oversized hole to allow for expansion and contraction without putting a large amount of force on the screw, is also available. 

FOR FASCIA BOARD INSTALLATION: 

Starborn Cap-Tor® XD screws are designed to provide a uniform finish to our decking. 

A depth setter tool is also available and makes it easy to set Cap-Tor XD screws at a consistent depth. 

STEP-CLIP®

Barrette Outdoor Living’s patented Step-Clip system reduces deck installation time by up to 50%. No spacing, extra measuring or grabbing for fasteners — and less time bending up and down. Decking can be laid out in advance to ensure that its appearance is pleasing to the homeowner, and the contractor can install special cut boards around posts and other obstructions after all other boards are in place. 

EASY TO REPLACE: Step-Clip makes replacing damaged boards significantly easier. 

NO JOIST PROTECTION TAPE: The strip protects the top of the joist from water damage, rot and decay. 

NO SPECIAL TOOLS: Install interlocking strips along joist with a nail gun or hammer.
