I would say that putting them perpendicular to the door would be best, as
there is less cutting the already 8 ft lengths and would be easiest to replace
as they wear out from door way to step. Yes, you could say you are walking
the "plank", but that is when placed over deep water. The same plank placed
over a solid spot, is the gangway used to come to land at the port in the
storm, or embark on your adventure.

I agree that crown placement is vital, and that screws over nails, drainage,
and support are also keys to success. However looks are what impacts you on a
daily basis, once the other details are tucked away, so they are just as
important to satisfy.

What did you go with and how did that work out in the long run?
