Using Spacer Rings - Kreg Deck Jig Guide D'utilisateur

Using Spacer Rings

Three 1/4" spacer rings are included with your Deck Jig. These spacer rings act as a guide to help
you create consistent spacings between one deck board and the next.
Building your deck with the proper 1/4" minimum spacing between boards allows debris to fall
through for a clean deck. More importantly, the spacing ensures proper air movement to reduce
moisture buildup.
Tip Also check your decking manufacturer's spacing recommendations.
a. Place the spacers (J) between a secured
board (X) and an adjacent unsecured
board (Y).
b. Using the Deck Jig, drill holes and drive
screws into all the joists along the outer
edge (1) of the unsecured board (Y).
Note Always drill the edge of the board
that is opposite the spacers first (that is,
the outer edge), so that the pressure of
drilling and driving pushes toward the
spacers.
c. Remove the spacers (J).
d. Drill holes and drive screws into all the
joists along the inner edge (2) of the
unsecured board (Y).
Note Now the pressure of drilling and
driving pushes back against the edge of
the board that is already held in place by
the screws (3).
