You need to install the WPC decking tiles on a sturdy flat surface, usually on the roof, porch, balcony, etc. It is not recommended to install them directly on the soil, grass, or cobblestone ground. The installation does not need hammers, nails, and screws, but just put the tiles together. Two tiles can be laid in the same direction or in different directions, and different combinations can create unique patterns.

When the installation is interrupted by unsuitable locations, such as pipes or posts, you may need to cut the tiles to fit the gap. Benefiting from WPC Decking materials’ characteristics, you can easily cut the tiles with a handsaw or electric saw during installation. Before cutting, you should remove the tile(s) and carefully measure the fitting area. Avoid cutting any screws at the bottom.
