Hi all,
I tried the trex-suggested method of screwing below the surface and tapping the trex down over the screw head with a hammer. I really think it looks bad. I'm looking for alternative methods for securing Trex decking. For the upper deck portions, I can screw from below, but the lower deck is only six inches off the ground. Suggestions? I'm also applying a 1x8 Trex facing material and I am thinking about making some Trex plugs and drilling out for the screw heads. Is this a good idea? Will I be able to sand these down when done? I see that sanding causes immediate discoloration, but will the color go back to "normal" in a few weeks?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
