We chose the click system and no visible screws. The calculator helped us to make the right choice. The clip is also a distance keeper between the decking boards, which is very handy because you don't have to measure anything. I have proudly sent my photo to show everyone how beautiful it has become.
Our wish was to make a decking in a type of wood that is stable, flat and maintenance-free. We hesitated between mukulungu and ipe decking hardwood. The choice was finally made for mukulungu. The terrace is now 3 months old. We wanted to keep the wood colour, so we oiled the terrace.
The foundation pole is the basis of a stable platform. These posts are struck in the ground, and the lower beam is mounted on them. This creates a stable foundation for the decking boards still to be installed. On every square meter of platform, use 3 hardwood foundation piles. Use the correct screws that can securely attach the foundation post to the bottom.
We have a summer residence in a holiday park on the Veluwe. In order to enjoy it perfectly, a wooden platform has been installed near the chalet. This hardwood decking is made of Ipe wood.
I'm not very handy, not that I can't make anything, but I'm certainly not a carpenter. However, my wife wanted to install a hardwood decking system in our garden. So I went looking for a system that is easier to lay than normal traditional decking boards. Hardwood Discount had the solution, because I purchased the IPE hardwood type with the click and clip system. This meant that I did not have to drill and screw through the boards, as the clips are on the side of the board. And I could easily click one board into the other. It was very handy to have the clip, because it is also the spacer between the planks, which means it can't go wrong. The most difficult part was to level the lower beams and screw them to the foundation posts. I asked the neighbour for help with that, and it worked out just fine. We had 25 m2 of decking installed, which took me a total of 1.5 days. This went faster and was fun to do. I have already ordered the next project from Hardwood Discount and I am going to build it for my daughter, because I have acquired a taste for it.
