Unusable Backyard Gets Epic Transformation - Part 1 of 2

What happens here

The deck frame is constructed using ProWood TrueFrame Joists. The presenter demonstrates how a triple end joist is installed, with the first ply serving as a beam. This method simplifies the process of installing flat blocking by providing an accessible surface for nailing. The video shows a time-lapse of the joists being laid out and secured, emphasizing the use of high-quality, straight lumber to achieve a flat, sturdy deck surface without the need for additional manipulation or planing.

Goal: Construct the robust and level wooden frame for the deck.
