What happens here
With the pocket holes drilled, assemble the individual composite decking boards into larger panels. Use bar clamps (such as those from Kreg or a similar brand) to firmly hold two adjacent boards together, ensuring a tight seam. Insert pocket hole screws into the pre-drilled holes and drive them in with a Makita cordless drill, securely fastening the boards together. Repeat this process until your desired decking panel size is achieved.
Goal: Securely join decking boards into panels using hidden fasteners.
