Treated decking was selected and specifically spaced wider than on a home deck.  The intent was that pine cones and other debris would fall through easier.

Deck boards were placed abutting each other and longer where the hut was placed so a dropped lip balm wouldn't end up in the stream.

Angle cuts the length of the deck boards were made at the ends of the cantilevers so that each board had solid contact with the logs.

Each board was installed with two lag bolts and washers.  The deck was countersunk and then impact drills were used to drive the lags.

Afterward all edging was routed with a rounded bit to smooth edges.
