Buy Composite Decking Clips and Fixings

Family garden with artificial grass, a play teepee and a fire pit seating area

Hidden fixing clips and countersunk screws, 100 to a pack.

The clips sit in the groove between boards and hold them down without a screw head showing on the surface, leaving an even gap along the whole deck. Roughly one clip per joist per board — the installation guide shows the sequence, and the boards themselves are here.

One clip and one screw per board per joist. A 3.6m by 3m deck of 20 boards over 11 joists needs about 220 of each, so three packs of clips and three of screws with spares. The T-clips sit in the groove between boards, set the 6mm side gap and pull the board down to the joist without a single screw through the face, which is what keeps a composite board free to expand and contract. Starter and finishing clips for the first and last boards are in the same packs.

The screws are sized for the clips and for composite or plastic joists; pre-drill a 3mm pilot into plastic joists. The clips and fixings guide has a clip count table for four deck sizes and the fitting sequence, and the installation guide gives the expansion gaps. Order a spare pack; running out mid-deck is the mistake everyone makes once.

Key facts. Hidden T-clips £16.50 per 100 and countersunk screws £12 per 100, one of each per board per joist. Clips fit the groove on every board we sell, 3.6m and 4.8m, and set the 6mm expansion gap for you. End caps from £1 close the hollow ends. Free delivery over £190, delivered in 2 to 4 working days.

How many clips for your deck: count the boards, multiply by the number of joists they cross, add 10% for the starter and finishing rows and for spares. A 3.6m by 3m deck is 220, so three packs; a 4.8m by 3.6m deck of 24 boards over 14 joists is about 370, so four packs. The composite decking clips and fixings guide has a count table for four deck sizes and the fitting order, and the composite decking installation guide gives the end gaps and the 25mm ventilation gap under the boards.

Matching end caps: ash, black, chocolate, grey, grey (4.8m boards), oak, teak. Where a composite fascia board or composite L trim covers the end, caps are not needed.

Shop the rest: 3.6m composite decking boards and 4.8m composite decking boards in grey, anthracite, black, brown and oak composite decking, on a composite decking framework. The composite decking price list totals the clips and screws into three complete deck costs.
