Building A MASSIVE Deck Part 7 - Deck Hatch and Deck Ceiling Install
What happens here
The presenter demonstrates the assembly of the egress hatch frame. This involves creating a robust wooden frame designed to perfectly fit the cut-out section of the deck. This frame will be crucial for integrating the cut deck boards, providing structural integrity, and serving as the attachment point for the gas struts. A worker (female) assists by applying waterproof tape to the frame, highlighting attention to detail for longevity.
Goal: Construct the wooden frame for the egress hatch.
