Installing Trex deck. Problem I see is the long sides(20')are against a fence &amp; my house. How would I fasten those end boards as jig wouldn't work?

Hey Gary, I did have similar situation her: deck against the house. The solution was to screw from the top, face screw. Just use the drill bit from the kit and drill enough so the screw head will be under the deck level by 1mm or 2mm. To hide the screw I used some wood filler and sanded later. You only need to do this on one side of the boards as the other side you can pre-drill away from the obstruction (house wall) and screw without the jig, taking care to not over screw. After oil, the wood filler is almost impossible to spot!

Yes, we have a deck made with TREX. For extra safety, I put a cookie sheet under it.

We bought a pad designed to be used in that situation and it works fine (we have a trex deck). I would think brick pavers would work fine. I'm sure you can "Google" for the pad we bought - we forget the name of it. It's rather low profile and looks fine.

jointing edges are not a problem but face jointing over 6 inches presents several problems. First you run one side through then run the other unplaned area through. You need to take a pass one after the other to keep them even. You should be sure to adjust the fence to 1/2 the board's width so that you are able to be uniform in the passes. Ideally you should use a surface planer or large drum sander greater than the dimensions of the board you wish to plane

There are plastic connectors of the proper diameter that you can buy on-line or possibly at your nearest home center. I short length of wooden pole or metal pipe would also work if of the proper diameter. You make the connection using the hollow top rail of the edging.

We have found that the "best" method over time is to cut or buy from hdwr store a a length of wood about 2" wide by 1/2" thick, and slightly longer than the two swing connections. This can then be fastened into the stud very sturdily and the swing gate hardware is then screwed into the wood. We have found it's not necessary to do the same on the other side,

Cut the old board out, remove screws and fasten the new board down with screws in the surface. Recess the screws a bit and they're hardly noticeable. Much like some screws in steps, where you can't get the jig in place. Worked for me.

Hi Johnathan,I think the best way to do what you want to do is to use a flush cutting bit adjusted to be about the thickness of a sheet of paper away from the plywood for the final pass. Adding a larger base made from masonite or plexiglass could help prevent "dig in" of the bit as you approach the edge. After the last pass with the router, carefully sand the edging flush with the plywood.

Push them in the end. If you have more than one coming off the 1/4 in. Then use a tee with a short piece of 1/4 inch

I am not sure what you are trying to do so more info may help.It sounds as you may be extending the width of the table ?if so it would be possible to screw down the clamps upside down ,you would need 2, and then pull the extension board tight to the existing system.If this is not what you're looking for ,supply more information and maybe one of us can help....John

I am doing the exact same thing to make poles for deck railing. How did this work out? A vice would be necessary. Did you get one ? if so what one would a person suggest ? I am drilling 75 poles. with a total of 2 1/2" holes and 11 1/8th" holes. Would this do the job ?

They probably won't work, because your board would touch the wheals when you turn ... Unless you get some super thick spacers between the deck and trucks?Or... I guess you could "shlongboard" it and mount the trucks on the ends.

It appears you're correct. The fence can only be set at 24mm on one side and 54mm on the other. Kreg tools are usually pretty well thought out so I don't know what they were thinking on this one. I'm currently doing a face frame job so only used it for adjustable shelf holes, so it doesn't matter. It'd be a simple matter to attach a 17mm block of wood to the correct side of the fence when installed on the 54mm side.

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it

On my bunks I placed them end to end, which resulted in a 2" overhang for the last one on each side. I don't have the. Instructions but they are available by searching for bunk slick instructions.
