What happens here
Begin by accurately marking the area of the composite decking board that needs to be removed to fit around the railing post. Use a marking tool, such as a pencil or a fine-tip marker, and a multi-angle ruler (like a speed square or combination square) to trace the exact dimensions of the post onto the top surface of the decking board. Ensure the marks are precise for a tight and clean fit.
Goal: Outline the section of the decking board to be routed
