The goal is for framing to be as straight and flat as possible, and these joists make that easy!
What happens here
The video concludes by showing the continuation of the deck framing process. The worker is seen moving across the partially completed frame, suggesting the repetitive installation of additional joists and blocking based on the marked spacing. This systematic approach ensures the entire deck frame is consistently built and robust.
Goal: Finish framing the entire deck structure with joists and blocking.
