Building a 2 story deck gets scary fast 4K
What happens here
Using an aerial lift for safety and accessibility, position the deck boards onto the prepared framework. Secure each deck board by drilling pilot holes and then driving screws (specifically SPAX PowerLags are shown) into the boards and into the underlying joists. Ensure proper spacing between boards for drainage and expansion. The installation involves working along the length of the deck, securing each board sequentially.
Goal: Securely attach deck boards to the structural framework.
