STEP 15: PORCH DECK BOARDS
1: 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.
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 ROCK
WALL ENTRANCE BOARD AND THE BOTTOM PANEL BOARD AND ATTACH IT WITH 2" WOOD SCREWS THROUGH THE
PREDRILLED HOLES AND INTO THE DECK SUPPORTS BELOW. LEAVE A UNIFORM (APPROX. 1/4") SPACE BETWEEN THE
DECK BOARDS. NOTE: THE TOP OF THE SCREW HEAD SHOULD BE FLUSH TO THE TOP OF THE DECK BOARDS.
