Set Your Screws First! #carpentry #tips
What happens here
Begin by securing the top horizontal decking panel to the previously installed vertical side panels of the outdoor bar structure. Use a cordless drill to drive multiple deck screws through the top panel into the vertical supports. The builder is shown alternating between a yellow/black DeWalt cordless drill and a green/black Hikoki cordless drill to drive the screws, ensuring a strong and stable connection for the countertop surface.
Goal: Attach the main horizontal countertop panel to the vertical supports of the bar structure.
