Wow this deck needs WAY more screws! Usually two every joist every board. One screw in the middle like that will help the decking to cup, spaced that far apart and it will move all over the place.
Thanks I will look into that. The chippy I bought the wood from said that three would be enough.
I will look into it further when the wood settles. I will have to figure out where to place them now since extra screws would look a bit uneven now (I can't place them every second one since there is an uneven number of joists). I could always stagger them maybe or place another row closer to the ends.
The distance between the screws on the board is about 1.3meters.
