What happens here

Following the installation of the main beams, the crew constructs the elevated deck frame by systematically installing numerous wooden joists across the main beams. These joists, also from ProWood, are carefully spaced and secured, creating the robust subfloor structure for the main deck area. The process involves precise measuring, cutting, and fastening to ensure a level and sturdy platform. This stage is crucial for defining the overall shape and structural integrity of the deck.

Goal: Build the subfloor structure for the main elevated deck.
