Inlay start to finish 😎. We love being able to use @deckorators for these intricate inlays!
What happens here
Continue the decking installation by systematically laying additional composite boards across the various sections of the deck. This stage often involves more complex cuts and fittings to accommodate the deck's design, such as creating picture frame borders, diagonal patterns, or surrounding built-in features like outdoor kitchens or seating areas. Re-use the track saw for precise cuts where needed. Pay close attention to board alignment and maintain consistent gaps throughout the entire deck surface for a professional finish.
Goal: Systematically install all decking boards, incorporating design elements and fitting around features.
