DECK BOARD
STEP 11: DECK BOARDS
THE FOLLOWING STEP IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT POSSIBLE SPLITS IN THE WOOD.
1: PRE-DRILL THE ENDS OF THE DECK BOARDS TO PREVENT INSTALLATION DAMAGE. PRE-DRILL BOTH ENDS WITH A
1/8" DRILL BIT AT THE DIMENSIONS SHOWN BELOW.
2: START WITH A 5/4 X 6 X 47-3/8" DECK BOARD AT ONE END OF THE FORT. CENTER THE BOARD BETWEEN THE FRONT
FACE BOARD AND THE REAR BOTTOM PANEL BOARD AND ATTACH IT WITH 2" WOOD SCREWS THROUGH THE
PREDRILLED HOLES AND INTO THE DECK SUPPORT SHOWN BELOW. LEAVE A UNIFORM ( APPROXIMATELY 1/4")
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.
