Here we brought our bold borders in as breaker boards, I think this is turning out SICK!!
What happens here
The initial phase involves installing composite deck boards onto the prepared main substructure of the deck. Workers are shown laying out boards and fastening them securely. Hidden fastening systems are implied, or seen being used, to create consistent gaps between boards and maintain a clean, fastener-free surface. Drills are used for driving the fasteners. This step covers a significant portion of the main deck area.
Goal: To cover the primary deck structure with composite deck boards.
