Have just spent the last 3 weeks laying 70sqm of decking.
Basic rules we stuck to are, 6x 2 joists at 400mm centres, with posts on every third joist. We then used bearers running underneath the joists whenever there are posts in the ground. Doing it like this guarantees zero bounce in the deck.
Any joins should be supported by a double joist.
We used 8x4 green oak sleepers ripped in half to 4x4 for the posts and then used post saver sleeves for extra protection.
