STEP 13: DECK BOARDS
1: START WITH A 5/4 X 5 X 47-1/8" DECK BOARD AT ONE END OF THE FORT. CENTER THE
BOARD BETWEEN THE FRONT FACE BOARD AND THE REAR BOTTOM BOARD AND PLACE 5/4 X
5 X 40-3/8" DECK BOARD MIDDLE BETWEEN THE CORNER POST MIDDLE AND ATTACH THE
DECK BOARDS WITH 2" WOOD SCREWS THROUGH THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND INTO THE
DECK SUPPORT BELOW. LEAVE A UNIFORM (APPROX. 1/8") SPACE BETWEEN THE DECK
BOARDS. NOTE: THE TOP OF THE SCREW HEAD SHOULD BE FLUSH TO THE TOP OF THE DECK
BOARDS.
LAY ALL DECK BOARDS ACROSS THE DECK SUPPORTS BEFORE SECURING THEM TO THE FORT.
THIS WILL ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE EQUAL SPACING ACROSS THE DECK.
