The UltraShield Starter Clips (TC-5) are designed to securely fix the first row of grooved edge or bullnose decking boards in place, ensuring a flush, hidden start to your composite decking installation. These clips are essential for creating a seamless, screw-free finish along the outer edge of your deck — especially when using bullnose boards for steps or borders.

Made from stainless steel for long-term durability, each clip is easy to install and ensures that the first board sits firmly in position before continuing with standard hidden fasteners (like TC-1 or TC-2).

🔹 Key Features:

✅ Essential starter fixing for grooved or bullnose composite decking boards
✅ Designed specifically for use with the UltraShield decking system
✅ Stainless steel construction – corrosion-resistant and built for outdoor use
✅ Provides a clean, screw-free front edge
✅ Ideal for use with bullnose boards on steps or borders
✅ Pack of 10 clips + screws – suitable for most deck starts

🔹 How to Use:

  • Fix starter clips along the joist where your first board will be placed

  • Slide the grooved edge of the first decking board into the clips

  • Continue installation using TC-1 locking clips and TC-2 CEC clips for the remaining boards

  • Also works seamlessly with the bullnose board 

✔️ Compatible with all UltraShield grooved and bullnose boards
✔️ Starter clip system for a flawless first row
✔️ Available with nationwide UK delivery

Outstanding customer care. I placed a small order (60£ timber) from Fife and paid with Apple Pay. Unfortunately the site defaulted to their normal own delivery service which is for an unlimited volume so good value for larger orders, but would have been too expensive for a small order like mine. I hadn’t seen this until the order went through (entirely my fault). I had thought to cancel and the weekend office team were very kind and understanding about this. We agreed I would call them in the week to arrange this. But Alan and the Alter team phoned me back a day later and said they had researched courier costs and would be happy to do that instead - which saved a huge amount of hassle on a product that was out of stock in most places locally and made the whole order very reasonable. They also refunded me the difference. Way above and beyond for a small customer - can’t recommend them enough and will be using them for more timber needs in the future.
