This was such an epic build!!
What happens here
With the subfloor prepared, workers proceed to lay down the main field decking boards. The video shows them efficiently placing long, grey-toned decking boards (likely composite or PVC from Decorators, as advertised) onto the plywood base. They use cordless drills to secure these boards, likely employing hidden fastening systems or face screws. The process involves systematically covering large sections of the deck, maintaining consistent spacing between boards for drainage and expansion. Some workers are seen measuring and aligning boards, while others follow up with fastening.
Goal: Cover the prepared subfloor with the primary decking material.
