Start-to-Finish 3 day DIY Floating deck - BIG REVEAL!
What happens here
Lay out the MoistureShield composite decking boards on the deck frame. Use a jigsaw to make detailed cuts around existing posts or other obstacles on the deck. Once boards are in place, securely screw them down. To ensure uniform screw placement, snap a string line across the deck surface to guide the fastening of each screw. The presenter mentions that this MoistureShield decking material can have screw heads hidden using a heat gun and hammer.
Goal: Install composite decking, cutting around existing structures.
