Re: the building of my deck :) 6Jun 20, 2012 10:36 am Quick question, what timber are you using for your joists? Landscape Design & Construction http://cherub.squarespace.com/ Re: the building of my deck :) 9Jun 21, 2012 6:04 am I thought so, I know you wont want to hear this but 90 x 90mm are not designed for the purpose you have used them for (posts) thus they are not listed in span tables. 2 45 x 90mm minimum, nailed together would have been a better option. Also 450mm is the max span for 19mm decking and 400mm recommended. Would suggest you add some more support mid span to reduce chance of failure.

Can I ask roughly how much the materials cost you, and whether you had to hire any specific tools? I'm keen to do the same to my backyard soon, and haven't done a deck before. Thanks!

I had 500's and its fine. Also.. just on the council approval, some councils dont need one (mine for example) its good to check.
