b . Rebuild.
(1) Groove replacement board to accept metal strip.
(2) Lay board in place with end resting on crossmember, making sure adjacent boards do not end on
the same crossmember. Staggering the boards will increase the overall deck strength.
(3) Fit metal strip into grooved board at edge
(4) Drill holes through strip and board at edge of each crossmember as the clip will overlap the cross-
member.
(5) Insert bolts from above, through recess in strip channel and hole in floor board.
(6) Attach clips, washers and nuts from underneath crossmembers.
