Some progress, got the top rails installed. I made it needlessly complicated but looks a little better like this.





Started installing the cross beams (2x5s)



They're all one variation or another of bendy banana, infuriating as hell! So I'm going over them with this spacer that's 552mm wide (gives you C-C 600mm with this lumber) and clamping stuff together and screwing it down to the support below.

I still think I will need to cut and screw a bunch of braces between the beams to keep them from bending sideways too much. Particularly at the opposite end near the wall.



The level and that piece of aluminium extrusion is an important piece for going over everything and checking that everything is level.



Floor beams are mostly done. I got the roof beam up as well.





Evening


Morning, deck faces east so will get morning sun.



These rails are solid as hell I tell you what.
