Pro Plug System PXDC634S275 for Trex Rocky Harbor Decking 100 lin ft with Epoxy Screws and Pro Plug Tool

Used this tool, screws, and plugs to install the framing boards on my Trex deck and I couldn't be more satisfied. Hole are completely invisible and gives the deck a clean finished look.

Contractor here who bought scalloped composite boards for my home deck. Cortex does not make screws/plugs for the scalloped boards. Called Trex and they said there are no available plugs for the boards I ordered. Well, the magic of the internet and Starborn Industries, my decking is all laid down now. They have a simple plastic template for where to drill in the thick scallop portion of the board. PLUS they had the actual decking color (Rocky Harbor) plugs that noone else had. Because the board color is variegated it was tough to find the perfect plug matches but that isn't the products fault. Search the bags enough for the best looking plug and presto! Hole plugged as close as possible.Simple to do. Use the template to mark your hole, drill it with the supplied bit, then sink the screws using the supplied head. Screws stop at predetermined depth due to the screw bit. Ones that I messed up on even backed out better than Cortex screws did as well.Very pleased and would recommend!

I recently installed a Trex deck on my house in the Rocky Harbor color. I had multiple areas where the hidden fasteners were not an option. This Pro Plug system made the install very professional looking and the hidden fasteners are great! You cannot tell that the fasteners and plugs are there and it looks great. I highly recommend this system!

Typically use Coretex fasteners but was unable to find them with this color plug. Screws we’re very similar and plugs worked great. Drill adapter works well, possibly better than the Coretex one. Overall happy with purchase.

Great color match ,easy to install , everything is included to install.

Look, this system works. And a friend who used the older system (different brand) years ago told me this is so much better than that system. But the drill bit wears out and doesn’t punch through the right depth and the plugs are too deep for the holes, so we end up shaving the plugs. I feel like this would be better if the plugs were all just a bit shallower. I will have to go back and drill out some plugs that we thought fit, but are now popping up- luckily there are plenty of extras in the box, and I can shave those, and tap them in. More work, but better than seeing the plugs. Also, not enough darker tones in the bag of plugs. A lot of the medium tones and light tones, but for those dark spots on the boards, I was sifting through looking for the darkest plugs and there are not many / enough.

Plugs look much better than visible screw heads that sit flush with boards. I recommend using a flat head rubber hammer instead of any other type because others could cause damage to the plugs and make them more visible.

So glad I went with this system! The one box was more than enough for my 3-sided picture frame. Read the instructions first! One a screw is started, continue at full speed of drill! Do not let up! ProPlug device with stop at the proper depth.Even then they will stop short occasionally in harder older joists. I had to pound down with a Phillips head screwdriver to make enough room for the plug. The plugs matched my new Rocky Harbor deck perfect! The single included T20 drill bit is a special specific length (to allow the ProPlug device to stop automatically) is enough for this box of screws. I really like the final look of my new deck!
