Operation Operation
Long Edge of Board
(45° Decking)
When securing a deck board that crosses
the joist at a 45° angle, position the Center
Drill Guide at the intersection of the joist and
deck board, using the dashed line on the jig
as a guide. Then drill and drive the screw.
Long Edge of Board (obstructed)
Where the edge of the deck board is
against a wall, or along the outside of the
deck where, for appearance, you don’t
want to see the angled holes, do not use
the jig. Instead, “face screw” the board by
drilling pilot holes and driving Kreg Deck
Screws through the deck board from the
top face.
Face Screw
Long Edge of Board
(un-obstructed)
Most decking-to-joist joints will be
unobstructed, and you’ll drill and drive
screws through the edges of the deck
boards and into the joists. For these
joints, use the Center Drill Guide,
centering it on the joists.
End of Board (un-obstructed)
When securing the end of a deck board
to a perimeter joist with either 2”-long
Kreg Deck Screws or 2 ⅝”-long Kreg
Deck Screws where the Deck Jig™ can
protrude beyond the end of the board
(no wall obstruction), use the Center Drill
Guide, centering it on the thickness of
the joist.
