I built a deck with k-33 SYP support ledgers and joists and a TREX deck surface. Used the DECKMASTER Hidden Bracket System (Brackets & Screws) where you fasten the bracket to the support joist,apply the TREX board and then apply the screws from underneath. It works great if you have some crawlspace to work with, ( My deck is 30" above ground level. In places where it is difficult to reach, I used some finish deck screws, which when driven into the TREX would practically disappear. We dismantaled an old deck (25' X 25' with a 2-level tower, an put in a 20' X 24' one with the TREX pattern going in 6- different directions. It was fun to do and good therapy (I had just had a 5-bypass heart operation 13 Years ago)
