As you begin to apply the last deck
boards, a final adjustment can be made. What you are striving
for is that the outer edge of the last course of decking boards
be exactly flush with the ends of the joists. Some builders
don’t bother with this, but it adds a nice finished look. The
only way to make this work out is to cut the joists after the
next-to-the-last course but before the last course is nailed on.
This way, you can tell exactly how things are going to work out.
After the next-to-the-last course is in place, measure to the
ends of the joists for their final cut. The measurement is made
from the outer edge of the next to the last course to a point on
the joists that equals the gap between courses plus the width of
a deck board (say, a 1/4" gap with a 5 1/2” board measures 5
3/4”).
