How to Replace Deck Boards

Tiger Deck installed with our clip system is meant to last a lifetime. It is best to use care in installation so that replacement is not necessary. However; in the event a board must be replaced use the following instructions:

Have the replacement board(s) ready. Select straight boards and cut to length. Cut the old board out by sawing through the piece on either side of the clips an inch or two away from the joist. Remove screws and clips, clean tops of joists. Replace clips on joists along one side. Slide new board into place and make sure clips are in the groove on one edge (See Illustration below).

Rotate board up on the non-clip side enough to place clips in the groove and directly over the joist. Slowly drop board down until the clips are starting to engage slot/joist. When all clips are aligned properly; step on the high side to force the board down and into the slot. Depending on the length of the board it may take two people to do this evenly. If you are not successful with this method you can pre drill and face screw one edge and use the clips on the other edge.
