What happens here
Before fastening, position the deck board onto the joists. Use a deck board spacer or a crowbar to create a consistent gap between the previously installed board and the current one. This ensures proper drainage and allows for wood expansion and contraction. The person in the video uses a crowbar for leverage to push the board into place.
Goal: Ensure proper spacing and alignment of the deck board.
