Throw away perfectly good Deckorators boards?! We would NEVER!!!
What happens here
With the main structural elements and roof frame complete, begin re-installing the deck boards. The video showcases reusing existing composite decking. Start laying boards from one end, ensuring consistent spacing using deck board spacers. Fasten each board to the joists using appropriate deck screws or hidden fastening systems. Use a chalk line to keep rows straight and a circular saw to trim boards to the correct length or around obstacles like posts.
Goal: Lay and secure the decking material onto the joists
