Building A MASSIVE Deck Part 7 - Deck Hatch and Deck Ceiling Install
What happens here
The pre-assembled egress hatch frame is carefully maneuvered through the basement's egress window opening and positioned beneath the deck. The frame is secured to the underside of the existing deck joists using screws, ensuring it is perfectly aligned and flush with the surrounding deck surface. This precise installation is crucial for the hatch's seamless integration.
Goal: Secure the egress hatch frame beneath the deck.
