Grand Rapids, April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – At CAMO, we know you don’t have time to wrestle with deck boards – time is precious during installation and the crews are getting smaller. Not to mention the strain on the body and possible damage to the board. As part of the CAMO experience that offers ease, efficiency and profitability, CAMO® LEVER is the only tool needed to bend, straighten or align deck boards to speed installation. In fact, contractors can build decks up to 5 times faster using LEVER with other CAMO innovations such as the versatile DRIVE stand-up tool for all decking and the CAMO EDGE clip for grooved boards. In these troubled times, the CAMO team knows that COVID-19 is a challenge for deck builders as they try to protect their families and livelihoods. That’s why we push the latest innovation.

LEVER is all about freedom in installation. Without time-consuming set-up, the unique LEVER tool can be clicked into place in one turn to lock the boards for fastening without stress and without problems. When combined with CAMO EDGE Clips, LEVER speeds up grooved deck installation by locking multiple rows of boards and clips into place for quick attachment. The compact LEVER is also strong enough to smooth warped boards. Smaller crews are not a problem – LEVER eliminates the need for someone to hold boards or tools in place. Lay your boards down, lock them with the LEVER and you are ready to attach. And the timing of the launch of LEVER corresponds to the need for an installation for one or two people that allows social distancing on the construction site to protect the safety of workers.

“We are steadfast in our mission to help contractors build better decks easier and faster – even with smaller crews,” said W. Scott Baker, CEO. “CAMO LEVER is the newest member of the family of innovative CAMO products that offers contractors an unparalleled deck building experience. We are committed to helping our contractors stay in the workplace and come out strong from the pandemic. “

The versatile LEVER tool adapts to single, double and even steel beams and keeps the distance between the boards constant, which for the discerning deck builder increases the beauty of a fastening-free surface. For the best installation experience, close off an entire field of boards with 2-3 levers the length of the deck.

With an MSRP of $ 99.95, CAMO LEVER is an affordable, easy-to-use innovation that allows contractors to work smarter, with less labor, and build a better deck.

It’s been a while since I’ve written about fence posts, but a buddy asked for a replacement a few weeks ago so I’ve decided it’s time again.

His dilemma is that he replaces posts that were replacements for previous posts, and those replacements have been made concrete. Apparently removing the original posts left very large holes that the previous fence builder filled with concrete.

So my buddy is dealing with a lot of concrete.

First rule, gang: do not put wooden posts in concrete.

Look, no matter what preventive steps you take (and I’ll come back to that), wooden posts will eventually rot, and eventually you’ll have to put new ones. Burying it in concrete not only adds more work down the line, but it can also speed up the rot.

The concrete forms a collar around the post, and as different materials at different pressures and temperatures expand and contract at different speeds, there is inevitably a small space around the post.

Water likes to seep into small spaces.

But it doesn’t ooze out because the concrete isn’t just a collar; It’s a cup too.

If you have a post in a cup of water, is no wonder the post will rot at some point?
