This winter we also had a roof put on to block the sun. It appears they built the deck in sections. <br><br>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'.<br>Sound okay?<br><br>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?<br><br>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?<br><br>Advice? <br><br>Thanks in advance<br>GregSat, 29 Mar 2008 19:23:41 GMTgcan
