Heavy Gauge Steel with Magni 599 coating for outstanding corrosion protection and an additional black top coat to better hide fastener between boards.

Recommended for use in softwood decking measuring 1” or thicker lumber. Softwood decking will inherently experience shrinkage. When using decking material prone to high shrinkage, decking should be installed tightly together allowing shrinkage to provide gap over time. Shrinkage of decking board width must be limited to a maximum of 1/4". Ask your lumber provider for information on expected expansion and/or contraction of material for your particular climate.

FAQ: What is the difference between the TC1 and the TC2S?
The difference between the two is the material they are made from. The Tiger Claw TC1S and Tiger Claw TC2S are both designed for softwood decking, they look the same. The TC1 is made from heavy gauge magnetic steel with a Magni 599 black sealer topcoat. The TC2S is made from annealed stainless steel with a black oxide sealer topcoast. What does this mean? Well, because the TC2S is made from stainless steel, it is guaranteed to never rust, while the TC1S does not have this same guarantee.
