RIVERFRONT BACKYARD BUILD Pt 5 - Fixing Mistakes and Deck Details

What happens here

With the deck framing corrected, install the new composite border deck boards. The narrator indicates using a 5.5-inch wide composite deck board, which matches the width of the inlay pieces, to create a consistent and aesthetically pleasing edge. These boards should be fastened securely to the adjusted joists, ensuring a 2-inch overhang from the framing to allow for a 1-inch trim piece and a 1-inch overhang for the final finished look.

Goal: Securely install border deck boards to achieve the desired overhang and aesthetic.
