The Tigerwood I bought was kiln dried (apparently) and aclimated for about 6 weeks before I put it down. I used the Camo hidden deck screws and while I don't think they were the cause, they didn't help. Should have used the longer screw option or face screwed with stainless steel screws.

Sucks, but it's much better than the death trap that was built before I bought the house. Painted over 2x4 commons for the deck boards that we're crumbling before my eyes...my buddy stepping straight through one was the breaking point.

On the plus side, the redwood stairs I just finished look pretty damn good!
