Another low decking thread
Looking at decking my back yard this will be 4.8m X 4.8m
I have around 13cm height to play with, the deck is over soil, I wanted to avoid escavating
My plan was to run 90 X 90 TP H4 bearers, resting on stirrups at every 1200mm. Then running the decking straight onto the bearers. Running the bearers at 400mm centres
This leaves me needing to run 13 bearers with 50 odd stirrups
I am not to worried which decking i use, So m questions are
Can i get away with a smaller bearer?
which decking will allow the greatest span? which will decrease my bearers required
Am on a strict budget so trying to work out what is needed
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
