I don't think so. I'd have to join two 12' somehow

You will have to do that over a column or a beam.

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me.  She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

That works out well to use 8 and/or 16 footers. I'll plan everything based on the material I can get.

Thanks for all the tips! The deck (err, "patio" technically) is done.  Framed out as described in the earlier SketchUp drawings, with the simplified blocking at the short ends.

I like the contrast in colors

Thanks!

The trim boards are PVC, the decking is "Duralife" brand composite, it uses a new and very cool/easy "Step clip" hidden fastener system a friend recommended to me:
