What happens here

With the deck board correctly positioned, the individual uses a claw hammer to drive galvanized deck nails through the face of the deck board and into the underlying deck joists. They strike the head of each nail firmly and repeatedly until it is fully driven, ensuring the nail head is either flush with the board's surface or slightly countersunk to prevent tripping hazards. This action secures the board, preventing movement and ensuring stability.

Goal: Securely attach the deck board to the deck frame
