Cut the skirt to height first, so that the top edge will run level the bottom edge of the deck’s top trim board and the bottom edge of the skirt support. Cut vertical skirt sections to fit each face of the deck, using a circular saw. Secure the bottom skirt support to the posts/blocks with screws. Use a string level and chalk line to mark the bottom edge of the support by drawing a line on the faces of the deck posts, or blocks. The horizontal 2x4 skirt support board is installed parallel to the rim joist, or faceplate of the deck, so that it is level. Position these blocks vertical with the top end against the back of the deck face plate, or rim joist. Cut PT 2x4 pieces to fit from the bottom of the decking to the ground. #Horizontal board deck skirting install#
