Unusable Backyard Gets Epic Transformation - Part 1 of 2

What happens here

Skirting, made from composite boards, is installed around the entire perimeter of the deck. This provides a finished look and encloses the under-deck area. Additionally, all end cuts of the treated wood are thoroughly sealed with a black liquid sealant using a roller. This crucial step protects the wood from moisture and significantly extends its lifespan.

Goal: Apply finishing touches and protect exposed wood for the deck's longevity.
