HiWe are replacing some decking and have the boards delivered. The previous deck was installed by the builder's chippie about 12 years ago. We have started taking the old boards off. The screws, which were invisible before, start half way into the plank and then screw into the base. How on earth is that done?ThanksSuzanne

Have the holes been plugged or simply driven into the board using an impact driver?

How to hide screws in a wooden deck?

(etc, etc). I haven't seen stuff reeded both sides, but it does exist as in the link. Wouldn't have it myself, I think it looks horrible.

In my experience decking planks are pretty ?soft? and if a screw is well driven in below the surface, the wood fibres will spring back to almost totally conceal the screw head.
