Questions & Answers

How long are the screws that connect the grooved pieces? I am installing on top of concrete with just 2x2 joists laying on the cement, so need to make sure the screws don't hit the hard surface - are they 1.5" or shorter?

Answer This Question

Hi rwr76, thanks for your question. The StealthLock Universal Deck Clips use a 2” screw (305 stainless steel), so they are not 1.5” or shorter. If you are installing over concrete with sleepers, please make sure you have enough clearance so the screws do not contact the concrete surface. -Your Deckorators Team

    Could this composite decking be used to make planter boxes?
    ByNov 19, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Maria, We wouldn’t suggest using the Venture composite board for planter boxes. This product is a wood-plastic composite, so it contains wood byproducts and isn’t approved for ground or constant-moisture contact. Because of that, it won’t hold up well in a planter environment. For this type of project, our Surestone™ mineral-based composite is a better option, as it’s made from crushed minerals and rocks and handles moisture far more effectively. - Your Deckorators Team

      Can this decking be installed to prevent water from seeping through? I want to put it on my back porch while keeping the porch below dry.

      Answer This Question

      Hi Sooz, spacing between boards is required when installing this deck board as it needs room for expansion and contraction.

        What do you use to hold this groved product together ie. such as something you would use in between each board?

        Answer This Question

        Hi Russell! For the grooved Venture composite boards, you'll use hidden fasteners that fit into the side groove to secure each board and maintain consistent spacing. We recommend our Stealth Lock fasteners, which are designed specifically for this type of installation and give you a clean, fastener-free surface. - Your Deckorators Team

        By|Oct 31, 2025

          Yes, Trex sells a universal grooved edge holder that doubles as a spacer for each board. Or google a universal grooved edge screw holder. I plan to use the link here. https://www.trex.com/products/accessory-hardware/hidden-fasteners-box.univconclip01/.

              It reada water resistant, but could it be placed next to a pool ?
              ByAug 29, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              No, Venture decking is not recommended for use directly next to a pool. While it is water-resistant, it is not designed for constant water exposure. For poolside applications, we recommend our Surestone® composite decking lines (Voyage or Summit), which are engineered for ground and water contact and carry the appropriate warranty coverage.

                      Easy to work with, affordable.
                      Was really impressed with how easy it was to work with these composites. Aside from being slightly cheaper, the channeled back of these made them easy to move around and easier to cut than the solid ones (we used the 12' pieces in Gray and 8' in Brown for the picture frame. Decided to use the CAMO hidden screws for these and they worked really well. Only possible downside I would note is that compared to some other items they do get a bit hotter in the sun, so the light colors like grey do better in hot climates. This one was about 300sf

                        New deck looks fabulous! I was concerned about my 'choice' as this was not my selected brand and color....but the only product available in my time-frame. In the end—Love it a lot! One board was cracked, but Home Depot delivered replacement quickly. The billing for that was ridiculous, however. On the phone for over an hour with associate saying, "give me a second" 10x and many emails while on phone. After all that I was not credited back the shipping and replacement and had to go to the store to correct the transaction.
