fastening mahogany decking

sawdust58 | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I have been asked to quote re-decking a deck with 5/4 x4 mahogany. Given how expensive this stuff is how should I fasten it? Hidden system, stainless trimheads, I don,t think $ are a concern here,. Thanks

    AL angles, pre drilled.
