Building decking.

[stevo as b4]

I've just been knocking up the frame work for some garden decking. But I have basically built a rectangular 4x2" wood frame work, and put a central wooden bar in width ways. I've now decided that the planking should run the other way to help with water draining (slight slope), and this means all my cross members are fitted between the central bar and the outide of one side of the framework.

As I cannot do the other side frame cross bars in exactly the same position to allow for putting in the screws, will it look shit to off set the decking framework on one side by 2-3", so that when I fit the planks, only the screws on one side will all be in a straight line, and the screws on the other side of the central bar will be in an offset line a few inches above/below?

I'm happy with this, but if everyone thinks it'll look shit, then maybe I'll rip it all to bits and start again?
