Green Shield is the home of the G-corner and not just because our name starts with “G”. The G-corner is part of the distinctive look that sets a Green Shield deck apart from the competition. Every Green Shield deck comes with G-corners included for the best possible appearance that lasts a lifetime. In addition to aesthetic benefits, the G-corner helps protect your deck against seasonal shrinking and expanding due to temperature fluctuations. By alternating the orientation of your facia board Green Shield eliminates the risk of your deck corner warping when expanding boards collide. Check out images of Green Shield’s G-corners for yourself and see how a Green Shield deck is built different.
G-corner
The G-corner is an aesthetic choice to flip the fascia boards vertically at the corner. This results in a more finished look for your deck. While a beautiful G-corner can be a great upgrade to a deck project, improperly installed G-corners can look sloppy and expose poor craftsmanship. Be sure to ask your builder if they are familiar with the G-corner and have the necessary skills and experience installing them.
