Kreg Deck Jig Review

1. I find with even using the smaller spacers, 1/4 inch I think, when I put the jig in between the timber to do the other side of the board, it will hit the other board and damages it. Am I doing something wrong

2. Well you answered my question on screwing down from both sides… What about shrinkage? Just tighten as needed?

3. I tested it myself. No big deal to install. Although, I am not installing my deck. It is too big, 5000 sq ft. To replace the wood, you dont have to use the tool. Just put the screw in and reverse it out. It is the one of the few systems that could replace one piece of wood without taking a entire deck off

4. Kreg makes some good stuff.

5. Ok…I bought the Kreg jig for my deck. Deck is 14'x16'. Using a bucket full of Kreg screws, using the required spacers, it came out great!
   I used manufactured boards from local big box store. No visible screw holes on top, and can be seen at an angle.
   But….was VERY time consuming! Double the length of usual time of installation.
   The lead board against the building will have to be screwed straight down from the top. I just filled in the screw holes with some clear silicone & was good to go.

6. Almost wonder if you even need to pre-drill, especially with how wet today's lumber is.

7. 3 years latter your deck will be done with this system!

8. I keep,finding more, and more Kreg jigs. Thanks for the great video. Always helps to see these products working on actual jobs. Your voice has the right cadence for instructional videos.

9. I didn't think you have to put the screws through the kreg after drilling the holes.

10. Not for use on new pressure treated, unless you want 1/2 to 5/8 gap after dried.

11. what is the recommended thick of wood ?? 1/2 inch is possible??

12. You have a YouTube voice. Great job on the video

13. I haven't seen a demo (anywhere) on putting in the first bit of deck up against a wall.

14. Mai Dayjeen, what Company did you find seiling Kreg?

15. I love the Kreg Jig idea. I just bought Kreg Jig deck builder and Kreg Jig K5. I am in Thailand and they don't have Kreg Jig screws here, I think I am screw if I can't find screw for my Kreg Jig here in Thailand. I wish they would make it universal, I guess that is capitalism and you have to use all there products. Any suggestion, I would really appreciated and many thanks. 

16. If you have to replace a board…..you're screwed.

17. Idea is great not convinced it would last long. some of my decks are 10000+
    would be keen to here from someones experience with this jig on a large deck.
