- 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.
Moor Row
Moor Row is a village positioned in North West England. It is in Cumbria and is located on a minor road off the A595 road south of Whitehaven. Moor Row is a residential community located in between Whitehaven as well as Egremont on Cumbria's coastal plain. The history of Moor Row goes back to at the very least 1762, yet it was the 19th century discovery of iron ore in the vicinity that constructed the 'row of homes on a moor'. Cornish tin miners relocated here to function the mines, as well as their existence is noted in a variety of road names such as Penzance Street. One street, Dalzell, is called after Thomas Henry Dalzell, a mine owner. The village name most likely describes the Scalegill street houses, which are kept in mind on an 1860 Ordnance Survey map. The 1859 residences on Dalzell Street are thought to be the oldest of the terraced rows. The town has grown in the 20th century, adding modern rural homes to the blend and is remaining to do so in the 21st century.
