First time posting here and would appreciate some advice on building a deck. Size would be 10' X 20'. If I'm using 12' lumber for joists, what is the best way to join two boards together to get the length that I need?
What kind or a deck? - Free standing or supported by a ledger? Free standing is the most trouble free since the ledger support includes many problems. Are you letting the joist length you have decided on dictate how you design and build the deck?
Usually, you will need beams to support the joists.
I would suggest looking for design help somewhere to avoid wasting money.
If you can't pick it up, just get it delivered to your property by the supplier.
