two words, well done ... I already picked up a rock and held up high, after reading it, I put it back softly to the ground, and picked up my only flower in my backyard. Really nice job.

i bought the paper from Costco, I think homedeport and some garden center may have it too, for the number of post depends on your size of the deck and the beam size you would like to use.

你这个不小呀，看你写的， 你应该是墙上有一道梁，另外再设两道，32的跨度，按你的计划8根桩。每道梁四根桩，分三跨，两头悬挑一点，每跨距至少8尺，那你的梁用什么尺寸的，要不要一尺以上？个人觉得桩少了点。 Mr tree 请给点专家意见。

what city? from Mars? Four posts for a deck size 16' x 32', You could do it, but, materialwise not economical.If you use ledgerboard (attahced to your house), you will probably need 6 more posts (two in a row, for three rows at about 10 feet (jost span) apart), the last row you can over hang by 2 feet to hide the post. I would not go beyond 10' joist span. The post span (the distance between the post in a the same row ) can be 10', and overhang 1' at each side ( a total of 12').
For a stronger sturcture, you could use 2 x (2 X 12) or 2 x (2 X 10) for beams, and 2x8 for joist at 16" at center.

trade off between labour and money

2012-9-11(#7773246@0)
well, costwise, not too much difference, if you are building a deck this size, the cost difference probably can be ignored. in my opinion , maybe 2 x 2X12 would do.

adding couple more posts would reduce the requirement for beam sizes. if post span is about 6', there are two options for beam, 1 x 2X10 or 2 x 2X8.As I said before, I do not know how high is the deck. If too low, we could do following:
ledgeboard
post row 1
post row 2
for post in each row, and hang joist between the beams, not on top. This should be good.

maybe you can do a measurement as how high is from ground to your floor, you probably want to keep your main floor at least 3" higher than your deck.

yeah, I jumpped in without reading previous messages. I was basically commenting on the feasibility of using number of posts.like old saying, every road leads to Rome. There are many ways a deck can be built, just have to find a way suit you as long as the finished deck is structure sound and looking beautiful as yours, or even more beautiful.

有用吗?

Yes , it works. At least when you build your deck you are not standing on the mud
-xavierzq(老老黄牛);
2012-9-6(#7764547@0)
Yes 2x2, cedar wood, the top part is using the decking board, I had one piece decking board drilled in the wrong place, so I cut it as the top of the table and the color matchs.
