Frequently Asked Questions...
What is the name of the board that covers the gap under the bottom of a wooden privacy fence?
The gap being any space between the earth and the bottom of the pickets. Is this board installed on the smooth side or rail side of the fence?
Answer:
If the fence is built correctly there should only be a one inch gap and no board is necessary. If the gap is bigger then the board would be called "the board to fix the screwed up gap at the bottom of the fence".

How to Install Deck Boards Step-by-Step Introductions
1. When installing the decking boards, you can use screws or galvanized nails. Use 2 screws or nails where a decking board and joist intersect. For both nails and screws, pre-drill the ends of the boards to avoid splitting.
2. The first piece of decking should be the straightest board in the stack. It will go right up against the house. Cut it to length and slide it up against the house. Nail it or screw it in place.
3. Lay each row of decking in place and nail or screw it to the joists. Maintain a consistent 1/8" gap in between row. For boards around the edges of the deck, allow the boards to fly a few inches past the deck. Later you will cut them all at once when they are all installed.
4. If a board is warped, screw it in place at one end, 1/8" away from the previous row. Move to the next joist. If the gap is less than 1/8", use a pry bar in between the new board and the last row to spread the boards apart. If the gap is greater than 1/8", have a helper grab the free end of the board and push it into the correct position. Screw the board in place.
5. Every few rows, measure the distance remaining on both edges of the deck. Make sure the distance is the same. If one dimension is longer, you can get the rows of decking parallel to the end of the deck by spreading the gap at one end over the next row or two.
6. When you are about 4 to 6 feet from the end of the deck, check the remaining distances. Divide this distance by the width of the decking boards plus 1/8". You want to end the decking with a full width board if possible. Over the last 10 or so rows, you can slightly spread or shrink the 1/8" for a perfect fit.
7. Once all the deck boards are installed, you can cut off the ends that extended over the edge of the deck. Snap a chalk line and use a circular saw to cut all the boards in one step. Where the circular saw can't reach, use a hand saw in corners or next to your house.
