We got in another day working on the deck today. We have now completed all the decking. Just as a safety precaution I have added one 4"x6" post from the ground to the deck. I have attached the post to the deck beam with a 10" lag bolt. If you look in the picture below you can barely see the post immediately to the right of the ladder at the base. You can also clearly see the post in the picture immediately after that. The deck is very level. There is just a little sway, but I believe it to be the entire tree moving and not just a branch. I might cable the oak tree over to the pine tree to try to minimize this swaying at some later time. Next step is to install the railing.
