What happens here
Begin installing the composite decking boards (e.g., Deckorators Voyage series) onto the prepared joist system. The video shows workers laying boards in a standard parallel pattern, often using hidden fasteners for a clean, screw-free surface. Boards are measured, cut to size using a circular saw, and then secured. This process is meticulous, requiring precision to ensure consistent spacing and alignment. For specific designs, different colors of composite decking are used to create contrast and visual interest.
Goal: Cover the deck substructure with composite decking boards in a clean, consistent pattern.
