What happens here

Install composite decking boards. For boards that meet posts, use a jigsaw to cut out precise notches around the 4x4 posts. It's crucial that every decking board, especially those notching around posts, ends directly over a deck joist or support brace. Never leave a decking board end floating in mid-air, as this will create weak points and can lead to structural failure or tripping hazards.

Goal: Cover the deck frame with composite decking boards

Tools and materials

  • Composite Decking Boards — Surfacing the deck
  • Cordless Drill Skil — Screwing down decking boards
  • Deck Screws — Securing decking boards
  • Jigsaw Skil — Cutting notches around posts in decking boards

What they say

Hide

with the framing complete the decking can go on but the very first board needs to be notched around the poles let's see if he fits we always end the deck boards um centered on a brace below it always end them on a brace never hovering in mid-air just don't do that no matter what i don't think you're gonna get any tighter frankie that's about it
