Natural Wood Spacing Tip
The best practice for natural woods, such as Redwood and Cedar, is to space boards at 1/8" but use the NO-spacer Invisi-Fast fastener. Because the natural woods have much more expansion and contraction, NOT using a mechanical spacer provides more allowance for expansion and contraction without undue stress. The Zero-spacebar Invisi-fast fasteners are designed to provide the optimal performance and beauty for natural woods decks. When installing the NO-Spacebar Invisi-fast fasteners on natural wood decks, use some 1/8" spacebar fasteners or a suitable size nail, to create a temporary space while installing the Invisi-fast fasteners, then remove the temporary spacer.
