  • How do I fasten the decking to my structure?

    Attaching decking is a time-consuming process that requires a good level of accuracy. While some of our customers choose to attach decking using self-tapping screws, we highly recommend using the Hilti nailer method, particularly on larger projects.

    The Hilti Stand-up Handle enables workers to efficiently and accurately attach sheets of decking from an ergonomic upright position as opposed to bent over and manually screwing.

    Screw Locations

    Attaching B-deck and Form deck to either a structural steel beam or bar joist, we recommend using the Hilti DX-9 HSN and DX-9 ESP for each structural support respectively. Remember that you will need to use the appropriate fastener type in each application.

    Screw Overlap

    For attaching sheets of B-deck and FD (Form) deck with a Hilti Stand-up Handle, you must use the red strip Hilti #10 HWH screws to attach the sheets while standing on the upper decking panel. In the diagram, that means standing on the right side for B-deck and on the left for Form deck. Standing on the upper panel applies force to the overlap ensuring a clean connection.
