What happens here

Begin by preparing the composite decking boards. Although not explicitly shown, it is implied that the boards are cut to the required lengths with precise 45-degree mitered edges to form a 90-degree corner. Next, set up the Kreg Jig on a stable work surface, such as a workbench or existing deck boards. Place one of the mitered composite boards into the Kreg Jig, ensuring it is clamped securely. Use a cordless drill fitted with the appropriate Kreg drill bit to create pocket holes along the mitered edge of the board. The number of pocket holes will depend on the length of the board and desired strength.

Goal: Create pocket holes for strong mitered joints in composite decking
