Install Baseboard

The project was to install 248-feet of Trex as baseboard, to cover and prevent rain damage around the inside of the deck wall. 

Thirty-nine boards required 23.5 hours, including replacing items which had been removed from the deck, putting away extension cords, cleaning up the cutting area, etc.

  



  

After trying a nail gun, we used deck screws, pre-drilling and counter-sinking.



Used 16-foot stock.


 We used a scrub brush and plain water to clean each piece, selecting first which  stock to use.


Some of the walls were warped, but came together nicely with the Trex.

Every hole drilled produced shavings, which we contained, in order to minimize cleanup.
