I am seeking input on whether to use 2 x size or 5/4 thickness. (Difference in cost, strenght in floor, etc.)
What do you think of Trex 2 x at 24inches on center for joist or is the 16 inch center the way to go?
If I use 5/4 I was planning on 12 inch on center. Is this an overkill
What are you using for spacing (gaps lengthwise between rows)?
Thanks for any info you have to time to share.
