Stel the floor on the balcony

We will need: a substrate, floorboards, wooden beams, screws, metal corners, dowels, varnish for protection.

3. At the same time, it is considered the most difficult to achieve an ideal horizontality, it is necessary that all the elements of the framework maintain parallelism. Stem the substrate.
4. After that, we attach the frame to the floor with dowels and corners. We check the stability of the frame and its strength, stepping on it in different places - it should not swing.

Begin to floor the floorboards, while remember that they are attached to the lags perpendicularly. We remember that the length of the board should be equal to the width of the balcony. Strengthening on the lag boards is pretty easy. The first board is attached to the frame. The second is inserted into the groove and tightly screwed with screws. So, one after another, we spread the remaining boards.
