Measure, Cut, and Complete Decking

What happens here
As the installation nears completion, workers may need to take measurements to cut boards to fit specific areas, such as around posts, stairs, or the edges of the deck. A measuring tape is used for precise dimensions. The process of laying and securing continues, ensuring all boards are properly spaced and firmly attached. The final rows may require careful handling and potentially different fastening methods if hidden clips are not suitable for the very last board against a wall or trim piece. The video shows the deck surface progressively being covered, demonstrating the systematic approach to achieve a fully decked area.
Goal: Finalize the installation of all composite deck boards, including custom cuts
