What is the recommended gap space between deck boards?
When using air dried decking the Ipe Clip® and Ipe Clip® Extreme™ fasteners automatically set the gap spacing at the proper 3/32″ gap between deck boards to allow for contraction and water drainage. When using kiln dried decking or composites, the Ipe Clip® ExtremeKD™ spaces the decking boards at ¼” to allow for expansion on their width.
