OUR BIGGEST FAILURE YET 😬 On Our Biggest Deck Ever!
What happens here
After the framing is complete, the exterior of the bench is wrapped with house wrap for weather protection. Composite decking boards are then meticulously installed onto the stair treads and bench seating. These boards are secured with hidden fasteners to maintain a clean, seamless look. Small LED lights are also integrated into the risers of the stairs to provide subtle illumination.
Goal: Install weather protection and composite decking on stairs and bench.
