Well, arse, due to writing down the wrong order number I now have parts
for
a large deck but instead of 80x80 bearers I've got 47 x 150 joists.

My options seem to be either to try and put the deck together with the
joists or to get bearers in (with the extra cost) and have a load of spare
joists...

This is a ground level deck.

What should I do?

Rip the joists down to the size you want, and use preservative.
