Hello,
Today I've tried to lay some hardwood decking (in between the rain). It is Red Balau hardwood.
I purchased some "clips" which go into the side of the decking and are concealed. However, they are very flimsy, and more or less impossible to hammer into the side of the boards without bending. I think they are made for softwood.
There are some fixings that you can biscuit joint into the sides, but they are expensive, look labor intensive and are plastic.
Can you 45 degree into the sides of the boards? If so, i'd need a super small head on the screws.
Has anybody used these? Are there any type of jigs for side screwing. (i've seen ones in the states but nothing in the UK)

I have over 30sq meters to put down.
Thanks for any help.
