What happens here

Once the larger composite decking panels are assembled, a final trim might be necessary for a perfect fit or a clean edge. Use a DeWalt circular saw in conjunction with a straight edge guide (such as a speed square or another suitable guide) to make precise, straight cuts on the assembled panel. This ensures all edges are perfectly aligned and ready for installation.

Goal: Ensure precise fit and clean edges for the assembled panels.
