Inside Fiberon: Deck Fasteners
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011Paul Young, Fiberon’s Director of Sales, provides a unique look inside Fiberon’s hardware products so consumers can stay ahead of the curve with the latest industry innovations in composite decking. Hardware products include both the innovative Fiberon hidden fasteners and the Phantom Ballistic NailScrew Driver.
Phantom Hidden Deck Fasteners
I was sitting on my deck on one of those picture perfect Minnesota mornings–clear skies and 68 degrees. I was watching one of those weekend home improvement shows and they’re building a Fiberon deck using, as the host describes it, “One of these new hidden fastening systems.” It got me thinking about both of my decks and the evolution of decking fasteners.
Our main deck was built first using galvanized trim head nails, which is nice because the nails aren’t very visible. However, the nails continually pop up and you have to drive them down so you don’t snag them while walking or shoveling snow during the winter. When the second deck was built, the builder screwed it down, eliminating the possibility of nails popping. Unfortunately, you can still see all the screws – Functional but not necessarily attractive.

Deck Design and Market Trends for the Southeast
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011Fiberon Composite Decking is happy to take you on a visit to the Southeast, where Bobby Parks of Peachtree Decks and Porches LLC shares with you various deck design and market trends in his region.
The Decking Industry and Market
With increased deck requests compared to previous years, homeowners demand multifunctional outdoor living spaces in many southeastern markets. Market dynamics have changed over the past three years to include the residential building force in varying degrees across different sectors. Former residential and commercial contractors entered into deck building and remodeling in an effort to survive–making it more challenging for deck contractors. It has also suppressed profit margins in many areas, creating an ideal scenario for homeowners who take advantage of this buying opportunity.
A positive result is that established deck builders in the Southeast are offering projects with features beyond what decks have offered in the past. Also, a growing number of contractors are delivering customers high-quality alternatives. The incorporation of “creating an extension of the home” is becoming a standard for many seasoned and established deck builders, especially in the mid to high-end niche of the market. These expanded offerings help many with the previously mentioned challenges.

Kelly from Bungalow Blue Interiors joins our Authors On Board to bring some design expertise to our blog! Read below as she shares tips from an interior design perspective on creating an outdoor living space that you can enjoy well into the autumn months.
As summer comes to a close and the temps get a little cooler, it is the perfect opportunity to turn your deck into a beautiful outdoor space for entertaining, relaxing with friends or just enjoying a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon. The key is to decorate with the same attention to detail, comfort and style as any other room in your house. First, ask yourself what you will use the space for most – dining under the stars, hosting Sunday brunch, or gathering around a fire pit to catch up with friends. It’s easier than ever to make the most of the season by giving your deck a facelift for fall without breaking the bank! Here’s how:
