I am making a small 3.4m x 1.8 m deck. What would be the recommended timber
sizes for the girders that attach to the soil posts and also the joists
which lay on the girders? The deck would support a maximum of 6 people and
a wooden arbour.

thanks

I recenlty put a deck in and as this rested on pads pretty much at ground
level I used 4" x 2" s

If the deck is going to be 'suspended' then 6" x 4" would be the recommended
norm.

recommended norm
