It’s all about those details baby!! #build #deck #decking #deckdesign

What happens here

Begin by assessing the area where the trim will be installed, specifically the junction of the deck post and the stair landing. A worker is shown initially adjusting or positioning a piece of composite decking material near the post, likely to gauge the fit or remove a temporary brace. Then, using a tape measure, carefully take precise measurements from the deck post to the edge of the stair tread and riser. These measurements are crucial for creating the custom-fitted corner trim piece that will wrap around the post.

Goal: Obtain accurate dimensions for the custom corner trim.

Tools and materials

  • Composite Decking Material — The material from which the trim piece will be cut
