Question:

I have a decking question. I have a 24 foot by 12 foot deck the spacing between all 4X4's are 4 feet. Not to secure a 2 by 8 piece lengthwise without posts to make the joists every 2 feet to stablelize the deck do I need more posts? Or to run th 12 foot span O.K without any posts and just brace it half way? Much appreciate the help.
