Mark and Cut Breaker Board Sections

What happens here

For specialized features like a bar, a series of breaker boards (e.g., five boards with specific gaps) are designed. First, measure the overall width required (e.g., 28 1/4 inches for five 5.5-inch boards and four 3/16-inch gaps). Mark the cut lines precisely on the deck boards, then use a track saw to make the long, straight cuts. This step requires careful planning to ensure all boards fit perfectly within the designated space. Testing the fit of smaller off-cut pieces before installing the final boards helps verify accuracy.
