Incredible Deck With Built in Hot Tub - Full Backyard Makeover Time Lapse
What happens here
The main walking surface of the deck is now installed using lighter-colored composite decking boards. Workers are seen laying these boards across the joists, securing them with specialized hidden fasteners that screw into the side of the boards, creating a clean, screw-free surface. They maintain consistent spacing between boards for proper drainage and a uniform appearance.
Goal: Cover the deck frame with composite decking to create the finished walking surface.
