What happens here

After preparing the composite decking, install the boards to wrap the support beams. Secure the boards to the wooden beams using construction screws. Ensure that the routed sections align perfectly with the metal joist hangers and any other existing hardware for a flush finish. Use a hammer to gently tap in plastic plugs or caps into the screw holes, creating a clean, seamless appearance. Repeat this process for all visible sides of the support beams.

Goal: Install the prepared composite decking to finish the support beams
