All right, so now on to bracing
. Bracing for me would be this
kind of metallic
strap that I'm gonna put diagon
ally in the deck. You can see
the two diagonals already
installed here, they are
missing some nails here,
finishing that now.
Bracing is, from what I
understand, I gather, is that
it is recommended for a
deck that is mostly one meter
high, like that, and that is to
prevent some side
moving, like bracing, like br
acing does everywhere. It has to
be installed under
the joist, so I'm nailing it
under the joist with some quite
rather thick nail,
like a 3mm wide, and under the
joist so it won't be in my way
when I put it here on the top.
It has to be nailed to each jo
ist and diagonally. For this
deck, so 3m long, like that, it
's okay to just put two diagon
als, I guess you should put more
diagonals if there is a stra
pping line if your deck is
bigger, but that is okay.
I'm gonna finish a few nailing
here, it's not by the bottom,
so I'm gonna go underneath and
nail a form underneath, and
that'll be it, and then we're
gonna move on to some decking
for good.
