3. Setup and Installation
The Yaheetech interlocking deck tiles are designed for quick and straightforward assembly. No special tools are required for basic installation.
3.1 Preparation
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, level, and firm.
- Measure the area to be covered to determine the number of tiles needed. Refer to the specifications section for coverage per box.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Begin by placing the first tile in a corner of your desired area.
- Align the interlocking snaps of the next tile with the first tile.
- Press down firmly on the second tile until it securely locks into place with the first.
- Continue this process, working across the area, ensuring each tile is firmly interlocked.
- If necessary, tiles can be cut to fit irregular shapes or edges using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., a jigsaw or hand saw).

4. Operating and Usage
Once installed, your Yaheetech deck tiles provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface. They are suitable for a wide range of environments.
- Indoor Use: Ideal for areas like sunrooms, bathrooms, or utility spaces where a natural wood look is desired.

5. Maintenance
Yaheetech interlocking deck tiles are designed for minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically sweep or hose down the tiles to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used. Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tiles for any signs of wear or damage. While durable, extreme weather conditions or heavy use may require attention.
- Storage: If storing tiles for an extended period, detach them and store in a dry, covered area to prolong their lifespan.
6. Troubleshooting
- Tiles do not interlock easily: Ensure the male and female connectors are correctly aligned. Apply firm, even pressure. Check for any debris obstructing the connectors.
- Tiles appear uneven: Verify that the underlying surface is flat and level. Minor unevenness in the subfloor can affect the tile surface.
- Water pooling on tiles: While designed for drainage, excessive water pooling might indicate an uneven subfloor or blocked drainage channels. Ensure the gaps between tiles are clear of debris.
- Tiles need to be cut: Use a suitable saw (e.g., jigsaw, hand saw) for precise cuts. Always wear appropriate safety gear when cutting.
