Fasten into place, on either side of the joiner board, by screwing the wood at a 45 degree angle into the rubber side supports of the base on each opposing panel. Add the joiner boards to the spaces between panels. Joiner boards are simply additional 2圆" decking boards, same as those secured to MultyDeck rubber bases. Leave a gap of 5 ½" between rubber base, this will form the groove that will accept the joiner boards. Arrange the panels to cover the desired deck space. Turn the panels over so that the rubber bases are now on the ground. You will need 6 deck screws per rubber base (2 screws per board, each base holds three boards). Insert screws at center of each rubber base to secure wood firmly. Press rubber bases at recommended spacing of maximum 18" between bases. Attach boards to rubber base with 1 ⅝" deck screws.
