New ThruLok from FastenMaster

Speed Meets Strength - ThruLok Screw Bolt by FastenMaster

FastenMaster ThruLok

FastenMaster, a leading manufacturer of quality fasteners, introduces a new and innovative through-bolt system. This is one of the most exciting products to be introduced in 2010!

Three ThruLok's replace two 1/2 inch through-bolts, the real savings come in the installation time. With the ThruLok, pre-drilling is now a thing of the past. Simply place the ThruLok-Washer on the ThruLok screw with the teeth of the washer facing away from the head of the fastener. No pre-drilling required when properly installed. Using a 1/2" high torque variable speed drill, drive the ThruLok until washer and hex head are just above the wood surface (approx 1/4") and point of screw protrudes out other side of connection. Thread the ThruLok-Nut onto point of fastener. Hand tighten nut until flush with wood. Tighten screw with drill. Repeat to match code-compliant fastening pattern.

The ThruLok is available in three sizes: 6-1/4 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches as well as 6 packs and 24 packs. DecksDirect.com currently offers free Shipping on FastenMaster Products when ordering more than $50 of FastenMaster Brand Products.

Penofin - The World's Finest Wood Finish

Friday, April 2, 2010 1:03:28 PM CDT

Penofin LogoPenofin, the World's Finest Wood Finish®
is now available from DecksDirect.com.

Features and Benefits:

Brazilian Rosewood Oil
Strong, flexible, water-resistant oil that is harvested from the seeds of the Brazilian Rosewood tree. Allows the wood to retain its flexibility. It creates no surface film. No trees are ever cut down to obtain this oil.

Transoxide Pigments
Penofin provides up to 99% ultraviolet protection. These pigments also penetrate into the wood protecting it from the inside out from the sun’s damaging rays. It adds a rich, transparent color to enhance the natural beauty of wood, highlighting the grain.

High-Grade Mildewcide
The finest possible mildewcide to retard growth of mold and mildew.

Penetration
Penofin’s formula penetrates deep into the wood. Other coatings lay on the surface and wear away after a few months. Because Penofin is a low-solid formula it penetrates, protecting wood beneath the surface.
Test any other wood finish against Penofin with our “blotter book” test instructions and see for yourself! Another benefit to Penofin’s lowsolid formula you never have to worry about lap marks. This makes application fast and easy for everyone!

Penofin & The Environment:

"Penofin® Performance Coatings Inc. is committed to the environment. We use Brazilian Rosewood Oil harvested from seed, carefully gathered, and then pressed and purified. This natural base creates a stain that penetrates deeper, preserving wood longer. This benign approach does not harm the environment. The oil, found only on the dry plains of Brazil, is the essential ingredient in Penofin. No other wood-finishing product contains this unique oil. We believe in keeping all the environments we touch safe. We believe in creating a safe environment for our workers. We do not create a waste stream in manufacturing. We believe in the continued search to find sustainably harvested ingredients. The use of these ingredients provides jobs without destroying the natural habitat. We believe that one way of caring for our environment is by wisely using our limited raw materials to create items of beauty, purpose, and permanence."

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 11:10:23 AM CDT

Not sure how many balusters to order for your deck? Don't sweat it -- the new railing Baluster Calculator at DecksDirect.com figures it out for you.

It's easy to use, just enter the details for your project: total length of railing, post size and baluster type. Using your data, the calculator will figure the total number of balusters needed, based on typical building code requirements of less than 4" of space between balusters. (But please note, you should still confirm all applicable code requirements with your local building department before starting any deck project.)

The calculator is pre-loaded with product specs for standard round and square balusters, glass balusters, and other popular styles and sizes from manufacturers like Dekor, Deckorators, Fortress Iron, and more. So you won't get a generic result, but one tailored to the manufacturer and style of baluster you selected.

Use the DecksDirect.com baluster calculator now

Acorn Post Caps: Solid design, vivid color palette.

Wednesday, January 7, 2009 10:24:51 AM CST

Acorn Custom Colors

Manufactured in Minnesota, Acorn Post Caps are fashioned out of single blocks of cedar, ipe or pressure treated pine—delivering premium results and solid construction. There are no joints to crack apart or split over time, no fasteners to fail or rust.

 

Take for instance, the handsome look you get with IPE post caps, a dense and naturally fire-resistant wood. Subtle profile varieties give you more to choose from with the Yellowstone, Tucson, Amherst and Boulevard styles. There's also the Tucson inset demi-top post cap, with a 3/8 inch base that protects the end-grain of your deck post.

 

Another unique feature of Acorn Post Caps is their vivid selection of special order colors. Named after natural gems, these colors are true to their namesakes. Emerald, bright Amber and royal Tanzanite add rich character to your deck; or choose the Amethyst tint which creates deep tones of cherry wood when applied to the wood post cap.

 

If you really want to spice up your deck with a look that's all your own, there's also Sapphire, deep red Ruby and a lighter rose Garnet. Customization really takes on a new look when you're looking at Acorn Post Caps.

 

Take a look at all that Acorn has to offer by browsing the selection on DecksDirect.com.

Highpoint Deck Lighting: for authentic mountain style

Monday, January 5, 2009 6:00:00 PM CST

HighPoint Torrey's Peak Post Cap LightRustic and artistic, Highpoint Deck Lighting is finished with durable, acid-washed, earth tone treatments that never chip or peel. The variety of hanging lights and wall mounted styles will instantly charm you, inspiring visions of natural outdoor living and pure deck enjoyment.

 

When you take a Highpoint fixture out of the box, you can practically smell the mountain air--and rightly so, because they're all designed in Colorado by a professional deck contractor. Thick gauge, non-corrosive copper, brass or stainless steel construction is the hallmark of a Highpoint product, along with easy installation and durability.

 

The Highpoint Torrey's Peak Post Cap Light has a truly distinctive style, with its peaked, riveted cap and a soft glow that emanates from behind warmly tinted glass. Complete the picture with matching recessed step lights, in the same Torrey's Peak style, and you won't regret adding that finishing touch.

 

To complete your light installation, don't forget that Highpoint also offers Premium Transformers, Professional Grade Multi-Transformers, and other installation tools and lighting accessories.

 

Highpoint goes the extra mile to satisfy customers, offering free shipping on all their products as well as a limited lifetime warranty. See their full offering right here on DecksDirect.com.
