The EB-TY® provides a unique method of fastening deck boards that makes the fasteners virtually invisible. Fastening is done into the side of the deck board and the edge of the framing member, leaving a fastener-free deck surface. The EB-TY® is a polypropylene biscuit fastener that fits into a pre-cut deck board or into a slot the builder cuts into the edge of the deck boards with a standard biscuit joiner. The EB-TY® fasteners are inserted and fastened with a screw driven through the biscuit and into the joist. Nesting each successive board against the EB-TY® automatically ensures consistent spacing and uniform height.
