Do not nail deck boards

As discussed the other day on here, a lady in sheerness had some decking done and the firm has nailed the deck boards down, I have been trying to think of a way to lift the boards without damaging them, simple you might think, but I believe in practice they will not survive, considering he has used a nail gun with ring shank nails.  An expensive option this turned out to be.  The boards need to be lifted to get a weed membrane put down under them which this firm failed to do.  Very difficult to now get this membrane into place without lifting the boards. Nailing them into place has resulted in some of them splitting.

So the sake of £25 tops, that's what the WM would have cost, its going to cost more in materials to fix this.

I will let you draw your own conclusions 

See you all soon!!
