One every 400mm will be sufficent.

Thanks for the reply, will take your advice.

Have you any antivirus / firewall software installed, e.g. norton / mcafee? If so, disable this and see if the problem still occurs.

Work out exactly where you are placing them. You don't want to interfere with the spacing of your joists.

I don't intend to concrete the whole area, but rather use paving slabs, spaced out to provide support for the joists. The ground where the decking is being placed is pretty level, so as far as my thinking goes, I have a few options. Lay the paving slabs so the entire site is level and...

Cheers for the clarification 8) Okay here goes. I think I can sort the mix out okay, but as they are square pillars, I'm wondering what way to work with the corners. Do I need to buy something to attach to each corner before plastering ? Or is it sufficent to plaster each side and "tidy...

Suppose a joke reply is better than none at all :roll:
