This is convincing 👍 #deck #framing #carpentry #test

What happens here

The project begins with a pre-assembled wooden test frame. A section of composite decking is placed onto the frame, specifically over supports spaced at 12 inches on-center (O.C.). The decking piece is then securely fastened to the wooden supports using a Milwaukee cordless brad nailer, ensuring it is held firmly in place for the subsequent strength test.

Goal: Prepare the composite decking for strength testing at 12-inch on-center spacing.
