What happens here

Once the adjacent paver work is sufficiently complete, the built-in benches are finished by installing the decking material. The video's final shots show fully decked benches. This involves cutting composite decking boards or treated wood planks to size and attaching them securely to the structural framework. The decking should be installed with appropriate spacing for drainage and expansion/contraction. Fasteners, typically specialized deck screws or hidden fastening systems, are used to create a clean, durable seating surface. The choice of decking material (composite or wood) often matches or complements other outdoor features, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic with the patio. This step transforms the raw frame into functional and attractive seating.

Goal: Composite decking boards or treated wood planks are installed on the bench frames, creating the finished seating surface for the built-in benches that complement the newly laid patio.
