@Sam_w Current design doesn't even have bearers, those are noggings. I have seen some photos of it done this way, whether they are any good I don't know, but it does seem like a hell of a long stretch for the joists that aren't attached to a post.
With 6" bearer and joists I'm looking at a total deck height of at least 12.5 inches right? Or am I missing something there.
Edit, this could work. I'd use joist hangars to keep them flush with the bearers. Posts on galvanized shoes bolted in to concrete footings . The thing I don't get is how you support the boards where they run over the bearers. Mini noggings!?
