Voyage Decking

Deckorators widened their Voyage line with multiple widths available for more design flexibility and material efficiency.

Available decking widths include:

  • 3-1/2"
  • 5-1/2"
  • 7-1/4"
  • 9-1/4"

Decking Fasteners

  • Non-grooved Voyage decking boards can be secured with Pro Plug kits, Starborn Cap-Tor screws, Trapease screws, or Camo edge screws.

  • Grooved Voyage deck boards can be installed with Stowaway clips, Camo Edge Clips, Tiger Claw clips, or Camo Wedge clips. If working with the first or last grooved board in a layout, Pro Plugs are recommended because clips won't work unless it's installed between two grooved boards.

  • When joists are installed 16" on center, multiply the linear footage of the decking by 1.5 to get the quantity of screws needed, or multiply the linear footage by 0.75 to get the number of hidden clips needed.

Voyage Fascia and Fasteners

  • Fascia boards are a wider, thin non-structural board used to cover deck framing, and are typically fastened with wide-head Deckfast fascia screws.
  • For 12" wide fascia, fascia screws should be pre-drilled and installed with 3 screws every 16"
  • To figure the number of fascia screws needed for fascia, multiple the linear footage of fascia by 2.25
  • For 8" wide risers, fascia screws should be pre-drilled and installed with 2 screws at every point where the riser and stringer cross.

Extra Parts and Tools

  • Router bits can be used if a groove is desired on one side of a deck board for the border
  • Fascia screw bits are used for making sure the screw can sit in a recessed hole and sit flush with the face of the material
  • Pro Plug Bits are used to screw Pro Plug screws in to the correct depth, to allow the plug to be placed over the screw
  • Pro Plug Fascia bits are used to pre-drill and accurately set the depth of the screw. Because fascia screw heads are wider than decking screw heads, both the hole and plug for fascia Pro Plugs will also be larger.
