Backyard Makeover Time Lapse Before and After - Ground Level Deck, Paver Patio, and Covered Pergola!

What happens here

After the main pergola frame is in place, the sub-frame for the deck portion is constructed. This involves installing joists across the support beams, ensuring they are properly spaced and level. The wooden components are measured, cut with a circular saw, and secured using drills and appropriate fasteners. Levels are used to maintain a consistent surface for the decking.

Goal: Build a stable and level sub-frame for the deck surface.
