Step 13
Trim the Posts
Rest the trim on a pencil while you install it with nails and adhesive. That will keep the trim pieces off the damp concrete. Cutouts on the back of the trim allow it to fit over the post bases.
Step 14
Build the Table Frame
Assemble the table frame by driving screws at an angle from inside the frame. That way, screw heads won’t be visible. Install a skirt nailer under the frame to support the skirt boards.
Step 15
Add the Top Boards
Fasten the deck boards with trim-head screws. They’re less conspicuous than standard deck screws. Fasten each deck board with one 2-in. screw, 1 in. from each end.
