Beware! Sometime this summer—or maybe as early as the spring—you or someone you love will suffer a stubbed toe while shuffling across the deck toward the barbeque tray. The culprit? A popped nail. To avoid unwanted expletives at your next outdoor gathering consider hidden deck fasteners. Pictured is a fastener from Tiger Claw. They are available in various configurations for soft woods like pine and pressure treated lumber, composite decking, exotic hardwoods like ipe and teak, and even plastic and vinyl decking materials. At Home Depot, Menards, Ace, etc.
Up next? The solution for splinters…
