Hi there,

I am currently in the process of building a ground level deck. I have had to rethink and move a few bearers around due to concrete structures in the ground/ pipes etc.

I now have 3 bearers instead of 5 across a width of 2.8m and was forced to leave a 686mm space between the wall of the house and the first bearer...is it safe to place joists across this space without another bearer closer to the house? Do I need a bearer on the house?

Would appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance!
