What happens here
After the substructure is complete, the decking material is installed on the open deck area. The video shows light-colored composite decking boards being laid and fastened to the joists. These are typically installed using hidden fasteners for a clean look, or surface screws. Concurrently, exterior siding is applied to the walls of the enclosed porch structure. The video displays a light brown horizontal siding, likely a composite or pre-finished wood product, covering the lower section of the porch walls. This siding provides weather protection, insulates, and contributes significantly to the overall aesthetic of the outdoor space.
Goal: Install the deck surface and apply exterior siding to the enclosed porch walls.
