the deck on my house is 14'x30' and has 2x6 joist running with the back of the house with 4x6 post spaced 6'-6" between the first two and the other two spaced at 8', and has 5/4 decking. This winter we also had a roof put on to block the sun. It appears they built the deck in sections.

My problem is the two sections with the post spaced 8' has a bad bounce. I am going to add a double 2x10 girder to cut the spacing to 4' where it is currently spaced 8'.
Sound okay?

by the way how in the world do I get the new double 2x10's on top of the new 6x6 post under the existing deck that is 30" off the ground?

I am a avid DIY'er but now sure I am expert enough to notch the 6x6's tight enough to actually have the impact I am looking for, is there a better way?

Advice?

Thanks in advance
Greg
