Board to Board Splice
When securing a splice centered on a
joist, use the End Drill Guides. For ¾”- to
1 1/8”-thick deck boards fastened with
2”-long Kreg Deck Screws, align the end
of the Deck Jig™ with the splice.
For 1 ½”-thick deck boards fastened with
2 ⅝”-long Kreg Deck Screws, position the
end of the jig ½” from the splice.
Hole Placement
Locating screw holes for maximum joint strength depends on several factors. Use the suggestions on the
following pages as a guide.
End of Board (obstructed)
When securing the end of a ¾”- to
1 1/8”-thick deck board with a 2”-long
Kreg Deck Screw where the Deck Jig™
cannot protrude beyond the end of the
board (wall obstruction), align the end of
the jig with the end of the board and use
the End Drill Guide.
For a 1 ½”-thick deck board fastened
with a 2 ⅝”-long Kreg Deck Screw,
position the end of the jig ½” from the
end of the board.
