decking questions
Discussion
I wanted slabs but mrs over ruled so it's decking.
What thickness of decking board is recommended.
Softwood ok or hardwood
Best way to connect joists together? decking is 5.9m x 3.5.
Do I need joist hangers? Watched few videos on youtube some use them some dont.
Lastly what do I preserve it with - stain or oil and what is the best.
thanks

having ordered the wood for the decking the builders mechants have spec'd 2.4m length joists for the outer frame when the decking area is going to be 5.9m by 3.35m. They said if i want the boards running away from the house then to build 2 frames then bolt them together. il need to be joining the joists together to build the frame - is this wise??
