I am replacing the surface of my 12 by 16 deck with 16 foot long five quarter by 6 decking. I remember the last time I did this when getting to the last 3 to 4 foot of each board it would become necessary to pry the board over to have it remain tight with the previous one installed. This gets a bit tricky when you also have to drill a pilot hole and drive deck screws. Do they make any type expandable clamping system to assist with this type task? I'm envisioning something like a threaded rod with some type crank on one end that could draw the parts together? It would need to be expandable by adding say additional 4 foot sections as needed. If they do make something like this I would have many different type uses for it. Would something like this be available at Home Depot? What would it be called.
