SECURE THE 2 BOTTOM BOARDS TO THE STRINGERS
Start by securing the lowest board to the base of the stringers, use 4
screws - 2 at each end of the board to secure the board in place.
Once in position secure the ripped down board in the same way,
leaving a 5mm gap between the lowest board.
Cont worry that the edge of the ripped down board will be visible at
this point it will get covered by the step boards in the next step.

SECURE THE FIRST 2 STEP BOARDS TO THE STRINGERS
Next position and secure the lowest step boards, start at the front so
that the deck board overhangs the stringer slightly and covers the
edge of the ripped down board fitted in previous step, the edge of
this board should be flush with the riser boards below, secure using 2
screws at each end.
Once in position place the second board behind the front board
leaving a 5mm gap, don’t worry if there is a small space where the
board meets the corner of the stringer this will be covered by the riser
boards in the next step.
