A spacer or gauge is provided for maintaining accurate spacing between adjacent wooden boards of a deck, patio, walkway or the like incident to the performance of a nailing operation. The spacer is formed from two members, namely, an elongated leg welded in transverse relationship to a support member. A lower flat surface of the support member rests upon and spans adjacent deck boards while a lower leg portion of the elongated leg has opposite substantially parallel space defining surfaces which are spaced a predetermined distance from each other. The space defining surfaces are contacted by opposite edges of the deck boards, and the support member has a pair of apertures which allows a person to view the deck board edges and ascertain that the same are in contact with the space defining surfaces. In this fashion a workman is assured that once the deck boards are nailed in place, the eventually completed deck will be "true" and "square," and the overall appearance of the completed deck will be extremely aesthetic.
