What happens here

Install the main deck boards, typically starting from the house and working outwards. To create a clean, finished look, a 'picture frame' border can be installed around the perimeter of the deck. This involves making two marks on the outer joists and snapping a chalk line. Then, cut the decking boards along this line. Finally, install the picture frame boards and the stairs using screws for a secure and durable finish.

Goal: Install decking boards and a decorative picture frame border.

  • Circular Saw Makita — Cutting decking boards
  • Decking Boards — Creating the deck surface

What they say

Hide

through. If we dumped this, water soaked through the screw and penetrated about a quarter inch down. The side with the tape still that water through the screw, but got a lot less penetration. Install deck boards, account for fascia. Make two marks and chalk a line. Set your depth. Cut your line. Install your picture frame. Install frames and stairs with screws. The thicker bottom section makes your stairs strong. If we use smaller dimensional lumber or overcut our stairs, then your stairs will not be strong.
