decking<\/h1>\n<p>Apart from climbing up and down the ladder what felt like hundreds of times, this job was pretty straight forward. My legs and lower back are feeling it now. I had to first set out for the deck supports then pop revetting them in place, it was just a matter of cutting the decking to size, screwing and lastly gluing them into place. It was important to prevent any water getting under the decking so I sealed every joint with sikaflex. I also decided to use expanding foam under the deck for insulation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-561\" style=\"width: 3829px\" class=\"wp-caption
