Building A RECESSED TV WALL On A Deck!

What happens here

After the main frame is complete, the builder measures and cuts horizontal wooden blocking pieces to define the top and bottom of the recessed TV opening. These pieces are then nailed into place using a nail gun. Plywood sheathing is then cut to size and nailed to the back of the TV recess, providing a solid surface for mounting the TV and future finishes. This step sets up the core structure for the TV integration.

Goal: Create the recessed opening and a solid backing for the TV.
