What happens here
Begin by measuring the width of the gap in the existing composite decking that needs to be filled. The video shows measuring a gap of approximately 0.5 inches (1/2 inch) between two existing composite boards. Next, measure the thickness of the composite decking board that will be used as the filler piece. Mark the desired cut line on this board with a pencil, using a speed square to ensure accuracy for the diagonal cut.
Goal: Determine the dimensions of the gap and mark the new decking board for cutting.
