Predrill screw holes in the cleats so they pull tight to the joists. Also pull up on them so they butt tightly against the decking on each side as you screw them in.
Photo 2: Predrill three clearance holes in two 16-in. treated wood cleats. Apply construction adhesive, hold each cleat tight to neighboring deck boards, and screw one to the joists at each end of the repair.
