What happens here

Decking boards are carefully laid out across the joists. Hidden fastening systems, which typically involve clips or specialized screws that attach to the side of the boards and secure them to the joists without visible screw heads, are used. This process requires precise alignment and consistent gapping between boards for aesthetics and proper drainage. Workers often kneel or work from planks to install the decking efficiently.

Goal: Composite decking boards are attached to the joist framework using hidden fasteners, creating a clean, uniform, and durable walking surface for the deck.
