Check your local building codes on the requirements for attaching rail posts, I use 1 x Simpson DTT2Z deck tie and 2 x 1/2 inch galvanized bolts. If the joists are 4' on center your spacing will be 44.5 inches between posts. Let the posts run long (don't cut them yet).

Instead, your deck will consist of rim joists that make up the deck’s perimeter, to be filled in with joists that will support the decking. If building a low-level deck that is connected to posts set within the framing, attach the rim joist to the posts using galvanized 10D common nails, or 3-inch galvanized screws.

Having attached all the joists, finish up the deck by installing the decking material. To begin installation, start by squaring up the first piece of composite to the deck and attaching it to the underlying joists with composite decking screws (Image 1). Continue screwing down the decking making sure to allow for a 1/4" gap between each plank.
