Is there a calculator?
I’m about to layout for a little 3.5 x 2.1m deck at Bird Villas.
I’ve got some 100 x 25 iroko left over from a job so I reckon I can put the joists on pretty wide centres but ...ideally I’d like 550There’s also a manhole cover I’ll need to frame around 🙄
19mm seems pretty thin - the length doesn’t really matter but the joists will need to be pretty close together.

I wouldn’t use 19x38 for a deck. If you’ve got loads of it already you could use it on edge with 5mm gaps between.

@Trunkie
Will 38x19 timber in ~900mm lengths work for a deck or will I experience sagageddon?
Sagulator says joists at 300mm centres is acceptable, 450mm centres is borderline.
