EB-TY ® Hidden Deck Fasteners
Hidden deck fasteners create smooth and safe decks, making sure there are no nails, or screws or pop ups to mar the beauty or the comfort of the deck. The decking boards are held together by polypropylene biscuit fasteners whose design has been patented, producing a smooth surface that enhances the appearance of the building materials.
Invented by Eberle Builders in 1997, EB-TY hidden deck fasteners have changed the way decks are built. The deck fasteners are easy to install, maintenance free, compatible with any climate, virtually invisible from the top or bottom of the deck, and guaranteed to last 100 years. This award-winning design comes in multiple sizes to accommodate any size decking materials (Use this calculator to determine your specific needs).
