I (built a lot but had a contractor friend help too) just finished mine and can post pictures if you want.

I used 2x10’s on 12” centers. Due to snow I left a gap between the top of the decking and the bottom of the house siding. I also covered all of the tops of every single joist with Vycor to keep it from getting water in and rotting the joists.

Mine is about 22’ x 38’, so it’s fairly large.

I used TimberTech composite decking because the Brazilian redwood I used on my last deck is prohibitively expensive now.

With the lighting on each post and the zero maintenance aspect of it, I am very happy.
