We have a fixed pier that I rebuilt a couple of years ago.

The post are all on 4 foot centers and there are a mess of em. All are anchored to the bottom with 80# of concrete in holes . Each post has two 1/2 inch rods in opposing holes I drilled with the concrete poured around te rods and post.

Decking is 2 x 6 ( cheaper than 5/4) and I nailed the livin daylights out of it with #16 galv ring shanks.

As the wood becomes wet it swells and tightens on the nails.

As of Yesterday all was fine.

You will need to clean it good after the water recedes else the next time it rains itll be slicker than owl poop.
