What happens here
The video begins by showcasing a pre-built deck subframe, consisting of pressure-treated lumber joists and beams, ready for decking. Workers then start by laying down the first few composite decking boards. These boards are typically full-length and are positioned across the joists, usually starting from the house or a prominent edge of the deck. The boards are initially laid without permanent fastening to ensure proper alignment and a straight starting edge.
Goal: Place the initial composite deck boards onto the existing subframe
