Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Deck Fastener Clip 500 SQFT Bucket

These were so simple to use! The spacing is great, and they’re much better price than the original metal ones we used on our deck.

I love the product, but am not too crazy about the price. They work really well and after a year are as good as new. None of the decking has loosened up. With the price you pay for composite decking it just doesn’t make sense skimp here. I used this for MY deck, but am not sure if I would do so on a commercial one. This is my second box. I ordered an off brand at about a third the cost and after thinking about it for a bit, cancelled the order and bought this box. If you consider the cost of the other materials and the investment of you time, you have to go with something you know you can count on. The stainless steel is high quality and putting lower grade stainless into pressure treated wood is asking for trouble.

I just finished up a 500sq ft deck and these fasteners did an amazing job. I used the trex transcend collection and the whole thing looks great. I was nervous using these screws because of the bad reviews but it just boils down to user error. Things I have learned using these is you must use a drill and not a impact driver. The screws will strip but they work perfectly if you just use a regular drill and drill them slowly. You must drill in one clip halfway with one board on it, then put the other board in and screw the clip in snug but not all the way. If you screw it in all the way the screw will not be able to holdOnto the joist because of the plastic clip. As long as you stick to these rules, your deck will turn out beautiful. Highly recommend these clips but use those rules and there will be no problems!

I've been using the hidden fasteners on my deck project and I think they are pretty great. Once you get the hang of them you can go fairly fast but there's definitely a learning curve. The screws are pretty thin and short which I'm not crazy about. I would give them 5 stars if the screws were a bit thicker and longer. They do hold down the boards fairly well, many of my boards were a bit wavy so hopefully over time that will flatten out. I do have some bouncy feeling boards so I will be screwing down some or maybe all of the boards and using some plugs to hide them. Not sure if they are particularly better then cheaper non trex brands but they do their job pretty well.

Great price, quick delivery!

Awesome system. Easy to install a looks amazing.

Worked for us

I used this on my Trex Decking System. This is a great product recommended by Trex. I couldn’t find a box this big anywhere in my town. I was going to have to order several boxes, my deck is 60’ across, but I found these. It was a lot cheaper, and more convenient, to order in bulk.
