- Start in one corner of the sub-frame and position the first board across the inner joists. You want the deck board in the opposite direction to the inner joists, ensuring that it’s flush with the frame. Position any end-to-end joins between the deck boards halfway across an inner joist so you can screw both boards into the joist for stability. Make sure you keep a gap of between 5-8mm to allow for expansion of the wood.
- Begin to screw your deck boards to the joists. You’ll need to secure the deck board to every joist is covers along your deck frame. Use two screws for every joist. Mark where you’re going to add your screws, ensuring that they are at least 15mm from the end of the board and 20mm from the outside edges. Drill pilot holes for the screws, being careful to only drill through the deck board and not the joist. Then screw the decking screws into the holes.
- Continue to screw in the deck boards, ensuring you leave the correct expansion gap. You can stagger the deck board joins across the deck for more strength.
- Sand down any cut ends if you need to before applying decking preserver to protect the timber from rotting.
Barmouth
Barmouth is a community and also community in the area of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, resting on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Found in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh kind of the name is derived from "Aber" (tidewater) and also the river's name, "Mawddach". The English kind of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh kind 'Abermawdd'. The community is served by Barmouth train station. The community grew around the shipbuilding sector, and more recently as a seaside resort. Noteworthy structures consist of the medieval Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse prison as well as St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, defined it thus: "With a great sea view in front, the hills behind, the remarkable estuary running 8 miles [13 km] inland, as well as Cadair Idris within compass of a day's stroll, Barmouth can always hold its very own versus any kind of opponent." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the community on the adjacent hillside, was the first system of land to be contributed to the National Depend on.
