What happens here
Begin by taking a pre-cut composite decking board, typically with mitered ends, and carefully position it into the designated area for the deck step. This initial dry-fit is crucial for ensuring that the mitered edges align perfectly with adjacent boards or structural elements, such as a post. Maneuver the board precisely to check for a snug fit before proceeding with any permanent attachment.
Goal: Confirm correct fit and alignment of the mitered decking board.
