Just a rectangle low lying deck platform – 12×16.
Will use Trex and EbTy for the deck surface.
How tricky is it to measure accurately so full size width Trex boards
can be used all the way to the end ?
Or do you have to start screwing down the last several boards and adjust
the spacing to make adjustments ?
What is your experience ?
I’m guessing even with Trex/EbTy combination the deck spacing near the end
gets a little tricky ?
Any help from you will be of great help in planning the structure.
Thanks !!

You can build the deck to be real, real close. But the spacing will always vary alittle. So, the last few pieces, you'll have to fudge alittle. But only alittle. You'll never see the 1/16 of an inch you'll need if you fudge the last half dozen and were careful from the start.
Plan to use full pieces and you'll be able to mark the spacing ahead of time on the joists if you care that much about it.
