What happens here
Transport additional 'ProWood TrueFrame' joists (labeled as such) to the construction area. Carefully lift and place these joists perpendicularly across the previously installed main beams, ensuring proper spacing as per the deck design. Once positioned, use a pneumatic nail gun, powered by an air compressor (not explicitly shown but implied), to secure the joists to the main beams and any ledger boards. Workers are shown standing and kneeling on the partially completed joist structure while fastening.
Goal: Construct the sub-frame that will support the deck boards.
