What happens here

Install the final decking boards, particularly in intricate areas such as around the AC unit. This may require precise cuts to fit the boards snugly against obstacles. For securing these boards, particularly the very last ones that cannot use hidden clips, finishing screws are used. A piece of wood and a hammer are used to gently tap the boards into place, ensuring a tight fit and consistent spacing before fastening.

Goal: Finish laying all composite decking boards and make necessary trim adjustments.

Tools and materials

  • Composite Decking Boards MoistureShield — The remaining surface of the deck
  • Finishing Screws — Securing the last decking boards where hidden clips are not feasible
  • Hand Hammer — Tapping boards into alignment
  • Hand Planer — Shaving small amounts off board edges for a perfect fit, especially for the last piece
  • Impact Driver Milwaukee — Driving finishing screws
  • Miter Saw DeWalt — Making precise cuts on decking boards
  • Wood Block N/A — Protecting boards while tapping them into alignment

Yeah. All right, Xander and I are coming to our last board. Yeah. And it comes up to the door. Which one are you taking off? This probably this one here. I'll have to put a SL or cut in it and take it out. Why won't you just cut a sliver board for right here? Cuz there's a belly in this board. Oh, there's a belly in this board. This board. So, I will I'll just recut it. Yeah, you guys can set this one. This board right here will get finishing screws cuz if we put clips we couldn't set well the next board very well and the last board. So all right Frankie face screw in it. But that's okay cuz then we can use the heat gun and we can get rid of those. Every third one Frankie. Yeah. I'm going to go on the other side of this. [Music] That fan is nice. Now, this is the piece that we cut down to fit the last piece in the door. And what are you using to shave to get the knock the shavings off, Ricky? Just a planer. Just a hand planer. Yeah, I can kind of bullnose it a little bit, you know. Yep. So, that piece goes right in here. Okay. So, we got the spacers in here. So, the detail work that's left is just tapcon cuz there's concrete below below this. So, we got to secure these in place.
