Dont worry about this to much, the best way i found was to tapper the planks on one side in a gradual fashion so that the planking ends up to be the same amount of planking for each side.

If you have any problems have a look at past posts and im sure there is information regarding this common problem.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Cal,

It looks pretty good to me. You are only about 1 plank different and you can correct this as you go by tapering a little more on the wide side and it will not be noticeable when all the others are fitted.BigGrin
