What hidden deck fasteners means
Hidden fasteners are clips or screws that attach deck boards from the side or underneath, so no screw heads show on top.
Also called hidden clips.
Where it matters on a deck job
They slow the install and add material cost, so price them as an option. Grooved boards and the clip system have to match.
