I'm about to re-surface my deck using hardwood (yellow balau) and I am intending to build it with no spaces between the boards. As my wife says, with gaps ladies heels can get trapped between the boards and in any case I think it will look better. Can any see any problems with this?

Indeed, I had imagined so. So what do you think the spacing is in this image? 2-3mm no more surely?
