What happens here

After cutting the wooden planks, position them accurately on the existing deck structure or framing. Using an impact driver or drill/driver, fasten the planks securely in place with appropriate deck screws. The video demonstrates driving screws into the planks to connect them to other structural elements, ensuring a robust and stable construction. Repeat this process for all planks, maintaining proper spacing and alignment.

Goal: Securely attach wooden planks to the deck frame or other structural components
