Jonathan, what Tom_b said, you will be fine. The problem of movement presents itself in large panels, not planks. One center screw can lead to cupping though.

Love that you are doing it with local lumber, that's pretty cool.

35+ year carpenter here, every deck I ever built had 2 screws per joist / deck board. You will be fine.

Thanks for that input! I appreciate it.

Thanks man! I love it. So cool to be able to drive to the local mill and shoot the breeze with the guys who produced the lumber.
