Yeah I think from an aesthetic standpoint fastening the boards perpendicular to the long span is preferable and also makes the structure stronger (though you’ve got plenty of blocking).

Also a good point about the 6’ off cuts which are more useful than shorter off cuts.

Agreed

To clarify. You mean run 10' length the whole way?

What are the dimension of the structure?

32 by Ten

This massive dock needs deck boards

But which direction?

#haiku 😉

Yeah I would lay the boards so that the 10’ lengths are perpendicular to the 32’ section. It will add strength and I believe look better too.

I think so now too. Thanks for your input 👊

Anytime
