Now for construction tips. The posts were dyna bolted to the concrete with a stirup. Double bolting is very important here. It helps reduce the stress on a single bolt. The bearers seen just below the facsia dressing are 8 x 2" and are housed (cut into the post) and double bolted with galvanised bolts. The angled piece of timber is a raking brace. This stops the deck from raking (wobbling) and creating a potentional collapse. Every thing is double bolted again.
