gravattedesign Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 How can I create a Deck rim joist trim board and add a Skirt down to grade as shown in this photo. I posted a topic previously about trimming out an interior stair opening and received great advice for that issue... but it doesn't seem to work the same way for deck railing wall types. Chief X16 file attached via google Drive if needed https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c2mM_BKsUiTNLGdvs5VJqp5cueQl6vov/view?usp=drive_link Thank you for any advice.

I use it all the time to create 3/4" deck fascia boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do also in order to control all the odd things, bumps, jogs, posts, gates etc., not to mention grade. Although I suspect Rene's 'Pro-Template' can do it all in one swoop, along with proper reporting to schedules and might even make you a cup of coffee too!
