Hidden Deck Fasteners: A Seamless Look for Your Outdoor Space

There’s a lot riding on the finished surface of a deck. You want clean lines, sharp spacing, and deck boards that stay locked in. Visible screws can distract from the look and interrupt the flow, and uneven gaps between boards will catch your eye for all the wrong reasons. That’s why hidden fastening is the go-to choice for a smooth, fastener-free finish that looks great from every angle.

CAMO makes getting that polished finish easy. With universal Hidden Deck Clips or EDGE Deck Screws, you get a fastener solution that installs fast, holds strong, and works with any decking material or profile.

Why Choose Hidden Fasteners?

A hidden fastening system keeps your deck surface free and clear of visible screws. With CAMO hidden deck clips, boards are held in place once the deck clips have been screwed down, while CAMO EDGE Deck Screws can be fastened directly through the edge of the board using the CAMO MARKSMAN tool for perfect placement. Both options deliver a smooth, fastener-free surface—two different fastening approaches, but guaranteed seamless results.

How CAMO Hidden Fastening Makes It Easy

Building your own deck? CAMO gives you simple tools and universal fasteners that help you work faster and get pro-level results—without the learning curve. Whether you’re using grooved composite, PVC, or wood boards, CAMO has hidden clips and fasteners that work with the decking you’ve already chosen, so you can skip the guesswork and stay focused on the build.

CAMO Hidden Deck Clips

If you’re using grooved boards, CAMO Hidden Deck Clips make installation straightforward. The system includes:

The CAMO clip system secures your first and last boards with Starter Clips, while EDGE or WEDGECLIPs handle everything in between. CAMO clips are up to 88% stronger than competitors’ clips in lateral movement and up to 50% stronger in uplift holding power. Pre-assembled with a stainless-steel screw for a strong hold and superior corrosion resistance, they fit snugly into the side groove of the board and sit over the joist, ready to be driven in—no pre-drilling, no clunky jigs. Plus, consistent spacing is built into every clip.

Use the CAMO LEVER to straighten boards and keep them tight while you fasten—especially helpful when you’re working solo. For a faster install, pair your clips with the lightweight CAMO CLIPDRIVE tool. It attaches to your drill and lets you fasten from a standing position for unmatched speed and ease.

CAMO EDGE Deck Screws

Working with square-edge boards? CAMO EDGE Deck Screws are engineered with a rake tip design that helps draw boards tight for that same clean, fastener-free finish with no clips required. The EDGE Deck screws also have a trimhead that reduces visibility once the screw is installed. The CAMO MARKSMAN Pro tool holds the board steady and guides the screws at a 45-degree angle through the side of the board and into the joist—no uncertainty, no fiddling with alignment. Just consistent spacing and a smooth, fastener-free deck surface.

A Clean Look Built to Last

Hidden fastening is chosen for its appearance, but with CAMO, it’s also about building a better deck. You get the fastener-free finish you want and the holding power you need, all in a system that’s easy to install, even if you’re a first-time builder. Whether you’re using composite, PVC, or pressure-treated wood, CAMO helps you build faster, finish cleaner, and create a space that looks as good as it performs.
