Pocket screws, or you’re a loser 🤷🏼♂️#shorts
What happens here
Begin by using a Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig to drill pocket holes into the end of one of the composite decking boards. Position the jig according to the thickness of your decking material to ensure proper screw placement. Use a cordless drill fitted with the Kreg step bit to drill the holes. Repeat this process for any other board ends that will be part of the mitered corner joint if you plan to screw from multiple directions, though this video only shows drilling on one piece that will join another.
Goal: Prepare the decking board for hidden fastening.
