CAMO® Marksman Edge™: ‘See What You’re Missing’
Since its launch at the 2011 International Builders’ Show, the response to the CAMO brand and product line has been nothing short of phenomenal. CAMO has become synonymous with innovative deck fastening, and Changing the FACE of Decking® is not just a tag line, it’s a movement changing how decks are installed. In keeping with this, CAMO is introducing a solution uniquely designed to address the problems associated with installing and enjoying treated wood decks. This solution is the CAMO Marksman Edge, soon to become the PREFERRED installation method. So if you build treated wood decks (and who doesn’t?), you won’t want to miss what’s happening in Booth C7133!
The treated wood market is the largest in the deck industry. Today, the standard installation method for many builders is to face-fasten boards with screws or gun nails, and with no gap to allow for shrinkage as the boards dry. Though face-fastening is convenient, it encourages treated lumber to split and crack, and fasteners can pop over time. These hazards get in the way of homeowners enjoying the beauty and safety of their deck. Until now …
The CAMO Marksman Edge provides the perfect edge-fastening solution with no gap. The Edge, a part of the CAMO Hidden Deck Fastening System, provides secure, side-angle fastener entry. It leaves a beautiful, fastener-free (and splinter-free!) deck surface – one that homeowners will appreciate. The Edge attaches to any drill, and it’s versatile enough to work with secondary spacers when your project requires a gap. It’s as simple as loading the fastener, setting the tool, and driving it in. A built-in CAMO Driver Bit controls the depth of drive every time; and at an affordable $39.95 MSRP, the Edge economically delivers a great high-end look your homeowners will enjoy, and gives you a competitive edge. Now that’s what you call preferred!
CAMO also offers the most complete line of deck and exterior fastening solutions with the CAMO Hidden Deck Fastening System and CAMO Exterior Screws.
