STEP 38: DECK SPACERS AND DECK BOARDS
1: Place the 5/4 x 4 x 40-1/2" Deck Spacers between the 96" posts and the 90" posts.
2: Place the 5/4 x 6 x 47-3/8" Deck Boards between the Deck Spacers.
3: Space the Deck Spacers and Deck Boards about 3/8" apart. You may use a 3/8" bolt
between boards to space them out. Note: The Deck Spacer between the 96" posts will
be inset roughly 1/4" from the inside of posts going out. The Deck Spacer between the
90" posts will be inset roughly 1/4" from the outside of the posts going in.
4: The holes in all of the boards should be centered over the deck supports beneath
them. Fasten each board to the deck supports with #8 x 2" wood screws.
