Wood- and Steel-Compatible Deck Clips

Aegis Clips from MoistureShield can be used to attach decking to either wood or steel joist systems. They’re made from glass-reinforced polypropylene and come with pre-inserted screws for faster installation. The clips insert into grooved deck boards—providing consistent 3/16-inch spacing while their beveled edges and toothed surface help control lateral movement—and screw to the joists. Available in buckets with 90 or 450 fasteners (including pre-inserted screws), Aegis Clips cost $0.50 per square foot. Optional Starter Clips and Finishing Clips are sold separately. All clips are also available with stainless steel screws. moistureshield.com
