The original screw up doesn't bother me nearly so much as the fact this was surely noticed by 4 or 5 boards in, and they just said gently caress it and kept going.

Junk a short composite board? Do you know how much that crap costs? I do. That's why I didn't try to mate them at 45 degree angles. If the same person who bought those things laid them out, I'm guessing half the offset came from trying to see through gin soaked tears.

I don't think so. Regardless of the angle of intersection, every board is of identical width. The only way for the ones on the right to consistently and gradually get offset from the ones on the left, is for the spacing between the boards on the right to be larger than the boards on the left. If the angles were off, there'd simply be gaps at the inside or outside corner of each intersecting pair of planks.

The boards are of identical width but the length of the cut edge is determined by the angle of the cut because it's a triangle.

Yes, but if the meeting boards had different angled cuts, they could not smoothly meet at 90 degrees. The entire deck would skew. You can actually see the larger gaps on the right hand boards.

Oh I see, you're suggesting they cut the two different directions of board at complimentary, nonequal angles, consistently. That would require them to have been aware of exactly what they were doing and intentionally not trying to get 45 degree angles. It also implies the corner post is not at a 45 degree angle to the corner of the house. e.g., one set of boards is cut at consistent 47 degrees and the other at 42, so they'll still add up to 90 and thus abut smoothly while also creating a horrible migrane-inducing visual effect. ...I like my theory better, but I misunderstood yours and I acknowledge it's also possible. It implies a sort of vile bloody-mindedness approach rather than just careless incompetence, though. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Or they cut one of the sets of boards first, got it slightly wrong, and rather than undoing their previous work and cutting twice, just cut the other one to match it.

Ok I actually think I know what happened. The deck on one side (right) is wider than the deck on the other side (left), by about half a planksworth. Rather than stick an extra half plank in, they put more space between the planks on the wider side. Which went swimmingly.

If you use a chop saw and you don't get it set perfectly at 45 degrees, when you chop a single plank into two sections, one section will be 47 and the other 42

LOL but also you would not buy planks long enough to run both runs of that deck and then cut every one of them in half. Much more likely to be cutting the ends off a bunch of planks. But yeah 47 + 42 = 89 which is close enough amirite?

They are spaced differently. This is obvious so why are you all talking about angles as if that matters. I hate whoever did that and want them to die so there we all agree.

Yeah I say they're spaced differently too, but Tunicate is correct that you can get the same or similar effect if you ran a non-45 degree angle for the corner, provided all the boards have the same pair of complementary angles. And you're a loving rear end in a top hat.

My guess is, the boards are cut at a proper 45 degree angle. The spacing is all correct. But the boards themselves are not perfectly 90 degrees perpendicular to each other - Likely rather than figuring out true square, the person just assumed the house walls were square, and ran each side using the walls as reference. So near the wall, you get a nice tight seam, but the further out you go, the wonkier it gets, because that house corner is like, 89 degrees.
