Utilize two nails at each point that a wood plank disregards a joist. Since have 3 joists every plank of flooring will require 6 nails.
TREATMENT: Once you’ve gotten down to business with your sled and every one of the planks of flooring are fitted you can wrap up by treating the wood with oil. We utilized Tung Oil on our surface, this is an incredible natural oil that colors the wood delightfully.
At last, when the oil has dried you’re prepared to get venturing!
