It is slow progress, as we are drilling & nailing each board, but it is paying off. Nthn side, eastern side & 1/2 the western side now done.

Both these images are of the eastern side, one on a sunny day (wot's sun?????)
Didn't use a gun, as it seemed to embed the nails too deeply. Used packers as spacers on each joist prior to drill/nailing. Used a product called 'Protectadeck' on the joists first to reduce impact of rain/swelling over the years (you can see it on the joists - the black plastic stripping).
Also sanding lightly the end of each cut & also a quick rub after drilling each hole before nailing.
