Will I need to replace my
CorrectDeck CX deck boards if the substructure
needs to be replaced?
In this case, you will not need to purchase
new CorrectDeck CX decking materials. If the
substructure is deteriorating and needs
to be replaced, all you will need to do
is unscrew the fastenators (or the screws…depending
on how you originally installed the CorrectDeck CX
product), remove the CorrectDeck CX boards,
replace the complete substructure and reattach
the CorrectDeck CX boards.

What type of lumber should
I use for framing my project?
We always suggest that our customers choose
KDAT stamped framing lumber. This wood will
be straighter and will also be lighter and
easier to handle, and won't shrink and expand
as much during and after the deck project.
The reason why we make this suggestion is
that we have seen a large decline in the
quality of treated wood in the marketplace
in the last 3 years, and it causes us frequent
complaints and problems. The primary change
has been a cost-saving move to skipping
the KDAT (kiln-dried after treatment) step.
This results in wood that twists and shrinks
a lot after the deck frame is nailed together;
resulting problems are often blamed on the
decking surface.

What type of fastener should
I use for the CorrectDeck CX Channeled boards?
The CorrectDeck CX Fastenator can be applied
with staples or trim head screws. Pre-loaded
Fastenators (with #7 x 2 ¼”
trim head screws) can really speed up installation
time.

What is the shrinkage and
expansion rate for CorrectDeck CX boards?
CorrectDeck CX expands and contracts less
than most composite and PVC decking due
to its polypropylene based composition.

What should I do with my
CorrectDeck CX scraps and what is the proper

bed edging, or compost bin. CorrectDeck CX
