The Grabber DeckMaster® hidden deck fastening system is available at Tarheel Wood Treating for homeowners who want a long lasting, beautiful deck to enjoy.

For safer, more durable, more beautiful and longer lasting decks, use the proven DeckMaster hidden fastening system.
With the DeckMaster system, the deck board is securely double screwed from underneath with the 22 1/2" DeckMaster fastener creating a strong sturdy smooth deck surface to walk on and enjoy.

When using the Deckmaster Fastening System, all fasteners are hidden beneath the deckboards. There is no surface penetration of the deckboards or joists. No moisture can enter deckboards or joists and cause nail or screw pop-ups or deck rot. No stains or splinters form around fastener holes.

DeckMaster® is a patented fastening system that eliminates the damage to deck boards caused by other fastening systems. Screwing or nailing through the top of the deck boards is not only unsightly, but also allows the wood to crack, warp, split, rot, stain, pop up and become a possible hazard to bare feet.

Whether you choose wood or a composite surface, your deck is a work of art. Why would anyone choose to mar its surface with materials that will surely cause decay? A deck is a beautiful thing, one to be enjoyed and treasured.

Why Conventional Decks Fail?
With conventional deck construction, nails are driven through the heart of the deck boards into wood support joists.

As wood shrinks, nails loosen and pop up, which is not only hazardous, but allows water to penetrate through the deck boards and into the support joists causing wood rot. No matter what kind of preservative you use, water seeps through nail holes into the wood, creating wood rot.

DeckMaster Hidden Deck Bracket System protects the deck surface by eliminating the primary cause of deck failure - moisture penetration through exposed nail holes on the top of the deck surface. Even screwing does not eliminate the need to tighten the screws once the wood shrinks, and does not eliminate deck rot.

Other hidden fastening systems still penetrate the top of the deck board allowing for water seepage and deck rot. They also tend to work loose with the expansion and contraction of the wood, causing squeaks and loose boards.

DeckMaster holds the boards tight, and is the best in eliminating any surface penetration.

Using the DeckMaster bracket system eliminates unsightly nail stains as shown above.
