What happens here

The final major cladding step involves installing the composite decking boards onto the top horizontal surface of the framed structure. Measure and cut the boards to fit precisely, allowing for any necessary overhangs or trim pieces around the perimeter. Fasten these boards securely to the top rails and internal blocking of the wood frame using composite deck screws or hidden fasteners. Ensure a clean, level surface that aligns with the overall design. This completes the exterior finish of the structure, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing countertop or bench surface.

Goal: Cover the top horizontal surface of the structure with composite decking boards, completing the primary cladding and creating a functional countertop or bench surface.
