Step: 1 Cut deck boards to the length required and brush all cut ends with end seal.

Step: 2 Place the first board flush with the face of the joist at the front of the deck and fix, using two 50mm screws in pre-drilled holes in each board.

Step: 3 Install the remaining boards in a similar way leaving a 3mm gap between boards.

A 50mm nail is approximately 3mm in diameter.
Step: 4 Finish off your deck by fitting deck boards to the side joists. These serve as a fascia and conceal the ends of the deck boards. For best results the corners of these fascia boards can be mitred.
