The best way to tackle an L shaped deck is to treat it as two
separate rectangles, which is basically what it is!

Basic sub frame of the first section of the L shaped deck, each
150x50mm joist is concreted into the ground by way of 100x100mm posts, and
noggins are also provided to add a little stability whilst the concrete sets.
This could also have been done simply by screwing a deckboard across the joists.
Where the deck sub frame is resting on a bearer at far end, the joists are
spike-nailed to the bearer to ensure stability.

A different view - with potential help available in the
background!

Decking commences, with boards being allowed to overhang the edge
- ready to be cut off in nice straight line later. A continuation joist for the
other section of the L shaped deck can be seen forming the shape of the L.

Most of the first section of the L shape completed, with the deck boards
overhangs cut off with power saw - along a drawn straight pencil line!
