If it ain’t tight it ain’t right when installing @DeckoratorsProducts

What happens here

Begin by ensuring your miter saw is accurately set to a 45-degree angle. Composite decking material requires precise cuts for a seamless joint. Carefully measure and mark the desired length on your composite decking board. Place the board securely on the saw's table against the fence, aligning your mark with the blade's path. Power on the saw and smoothly perform a precise 45-degree miter cut through the board. This cut will form one side of your 90-degree corner.

Goal: Produce a precisely mitered composite board.
