We tried something INSANE on this deck build

What happens here

Once the deck's structural frame is complete, the process of installing the decking boards begins. The workers carefully place pre-cut wood boards onto the joists, securing them with screws. They work systematically across the deck area, ensuring consistent spacing between boards for proper drainage and wood expansion/contraction. The decking material appears to be natural cedar, providing a warm, aesthetic finish.

Goal: Cover the deck frame with finished decking material.
