FASCIA INSTALL
Pre-drill and
counter sink clearance
holes starting 2” in from
board end and 2” from outer edge
of fascia board, every 16“ using a
3/16” drill bit. Screw down the fascia board
using the pre-drilled holes. Use #8 stainless
steel composite deckscrew at least 1 1/2” length. The
oversized hole will allow for expansion/contraction, if needed.
Do not fully tighten screw.
Drill screws in perpendicular, not at an angle. Do not overdrive, splitting may
occur.
Gapping: Install at the mean temperature of your geographical area. The temperature
of composite fascia boards should be at least 45º F at the time of installation. This is not the
same as air temperature. For board ends allow 1/16” for every 20º F difference between
installation temperature and your hottest average temperature. Regardless of temperature a
1/16” minimum gap is required. Failure to use proper gapping will void all warranties and
liabilities.
Fascia may be installed to cover the ends of boards or under the cantilevered deck surface.
Rhino Deck/Armadillo Board End Sealer must be used on all fascia board ends and any ripped
surfaces. Failure to do so will void warranty on any end swelling.
Armadillo fascia boards are not made to be used as deck boards.
