  • Worked like a charm!
Size: (Pack of 1)
There’s a shortage of Lumber in CA — so Contractors are raising prices to a historical high. Due to this, I decided to DIY my IPE deck. I wanted to make sure my screws would align perfectly and that the entire deck had the same spacing. My IPE deck came out so gorgeous. This tool was imperative to making the deck look professionally installed. I have all my 1/8 spaces between each board perfect, the screws are all aligned like a real professional. I would recommend this to anyone building a deck, DIYers or pros. Actually wish I would’ve bought 2, would’ve worked faster. ... show more

  • Great for Separating Tight Boards
Size: (Pack of 1)
These were instrumental in helping me achieve a gap in my deck boards. If you are building the deck solo, I suggest you purchase at least two of these as you can ensure you keep a consistent gap. I like this product better than others because I could pound on the top with an impact hammer. I was replacing deck boards so I needed to get all of my boards into a predetermined sized space. As you can see from the picture, I broke one of my tools. This was unfortunate as it looks like my two tools were made of different material. However, I was able to complete the task and my deck looks beautiful. ... show more

  • Rebuilt my own cedar deck by myself with this and a bowrench!
Size: (Pack of 1)
A couple of years ago I faced a dilemma - my cedar deck was starting to rot in places, the previous owner (who built the deck) painted the boards, which also made maintenance a nightmare. I got quotes from contractors to rebuild my deck which were insane. Composite, cedar, whatever, it was a very high number. Then I looked into doing it myself. The base of the deck was solid, but the deck boards, railing and skirting needed to be replaced, at a materials cost of around 25-33% of what was quoted to me. I decided to go cedar again, but ensure that the boards were spaced correctly and I would use stain instead of paint. Between this tool and a bowrench I felt I was able to tackle the job. I also needed a few other tools - sawzall for demolition, 2 cordless drills (one with bit, one with driver bit), compound miter saw, pocket jig, table saw and a planer (due to some angles in the way the deck was constructed I needed to thin down some 2x4s). I'm somewhat handy but NOT a pro. I was able to resurface a 15x30 deck (including stairs) over a couple months working an hour or 2 each night after work plus around 8 hours each weekend, by myself. This tool was very helpful in 2 ways - first, in ensuring proper gaps between the boards when using the bowrench, and second, to determine proper hole spacing when screwing the boards down. There's nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done, and many thousands of dollars saved! ... show more

  • An essential part of a deck maker's kit
Size: (Pack of 1)
This product is simple, yet has many features that are not obviously apparent, like you can use it to align your fasteners. It has excellent instructions on the packaging. I bought 3 and used them on a 16x24 deck, then bought a bunch more. If you are going to use this tool professionally (like me), make your life a little easier and also get a board straightener. The tool spaces the board on one side, and the straightener pulls the boards against them on the other. ... show more

  • Does what it is supposed to do
Size: (Pack of 1)
I like this for determining spacing. Not sure about the holes in it. They are not useful at all as screws do not fit through the holes. Overall a good item to space deck boards

  • Deckmate Deck Plank Gauge
Size: (Pack of 1)
I had purchased one of these items years ago when I was building a deck. When I started putting down the boards for my latest deck I wanted to get a second Deckmate Deck Plank Gauge. I looked locally and no one carried them. I was already familiar with the product so I knew what I wanted. I ordered two through Amazon, just in case needed three total. I should have ordered three. I'm using ten foot lumber for the deck boards and I could use one more. The tool works great. It does exactly what it says it it will do. I have also used it to build a 5' Cedar privacy fence for my parents in law. One side has a 1/8" spacer and the other is a 3/16" spacer. With wood decking as with wood fencing if the boards are warped you can switch spacers very easy to keep the boards lined up. If you need to really clamp down on the spacer in lining up the boards you can still remove the Spacing Gauge. It stays slightly elevated off the work so it's easy to pry it out if you have to. Overall this is the most handy tool I have found for spacing either deck boards or privacy fencing. ... show more

  • Simple and indispensible
Size: (Pack of 1)
I purchased 3 of these spacing tools when I built my deck, thinking they would come in handy when laying the decking boards. Now that I have used them, I can't imagine building the deck without them. You can lay them against the in-place deck board and then snug the to-be-installed deck board against them. You don't have to worry about using a nail between the boards, which would drop down and be difficult to manipulate. You can easily work alone with these spacing guides. They are also very handy to locate and evenly space the decking screws used for fastening the boards to the joists. My only regret is that I purchased 3. A few more would be handy to place along the entire length of long boards as you work. ... show more

  • Great!

Great product! Saw these on a You Tuber, "Dr. Decks" . A must have if you're doing any deck board work. I bought 4, but if you do a lot of deck, you need many!
