What happens here
As the main decking proceeds, workers focus on custom cuts and finishing touches. This involves using power saws, such as circular saws or track saws, to precisely cut decking boards to fit curved sections of the deck perimeter or to create clean, straight edges. Boards are also trimmed flush where they overhang the deck frame. Specialized cutting for any inlays or border patterns is performed. The video shows workers cutting boards for curved edges, ensuring a custom, finished appearance to the large deck.
Goal: Achieve precise cuts for curved sections and create clean, finished deck edges.
