Backyard transformation With Trex Deck and Techo Bloc Patio

What happens here

With the deck frame complete, the decking boards are installed. The video shows workers installing composite decking, which is cut to size using saws and secured to the joists using appropriate fasteners (likely hidden fasteners or deck screws). Simultaneously, the vertical posts for the deck railings are installed. These posts are typically secured to the deck frame or joists, ensuring they are plumb, level, and spaced according to safety regulations and design specifications.

Goal: Install deck boards and prepare the deck for railing assembly.
