Hi
I'm just about to start a decking frame after prepping the groundwork but I'm just struggling with the measurement side of things. The frame will be sitting on relaid patio flags, so the measurement of a sample frame area is:
2700mm x 450mm
The decking lengths I've been looking at are 120mm x 25mm and will be getting laid left-right. So, in short I have to fit 120mm widths into the 450mm area with seating space in between each decking length.
I've tried lengths with gaps of 3mm/4mm and 5mm but there's always a small lip left and I'm unsure how to finish it - any tips/advice woudl eb appreciated.....hope I've explained it OK. I'm loathe to start without having a clear plan - do I need to adjust the frame dimensions or offset the deckign with larger, irregular gaps?

450mm is the length of the left hand side. Each plank (--------------) is 120mm wide.
Cheers.
