What happens here
A long, precisely cut composite deck board, appearing to be a trim or border piece, is carefully brought into position by the worker. The worker slides it along the edge of the existing decking, ensuring precise alignment with a vertical support post and the adjacent installed deck boards. The board is then gently laid down into its final position to create a clean, finished edge that completes that section of the deck's perimeter.
Goal: Securely place the cut composite deck board to create a finished edge.
