I have built 5 outdoor decks. All my decks are still standing. All my decks were built in the late 90s and the last one was built in 2004.
I have NEVER attached a deck to a house. NEVER. I have always had the deck within an inch of the house and had 2x10 sleeper joists 2 feet away from the house.
Yes, use a double joist. Never extend a live joist more than 3 times the height over the sleeper joist. IE: A 2x6 is 5.5" tall, dont go more than 15" over the sleeper. When in doubt always upgrade the wood to a bigger size. (dont cheat yourself)
And NEVER pull a permit to build a deck.......Screw the building inspector and the tax man.
