As I said, the measurements all look Greek to me so not sure if everything I need is there. Just had one quote from a timber yard & he came up with $7500, so I guess it's around the mark.
Any suggestions / changes will be appreciative.
I worked out $6823, thats a timber yard quote with 140x25 decking.
Don't forget you'll be up for about $500 at least to coat the deck plus all you fixings. I'd suggest looking at some composite decking, especially if the majority of the deck is uncovered. It is dearer but you will never need to coat it.

Thanks Luke.
Had a look at a few decks done in composite. They look great. Still much prefer the look of real timber though. ½ of it is uncovered & faces North so I know the upkeep will be high. Don't mind. Good excuse to get out of the house for a weekend.
Also in saying this ^^^, when the time comes for another coat, will it look odd comparing the exposed part & the covered part?? Won't it be a lot darker in the covered areas?
