Yes there were voids or spaces and 3 rows of 3 barrels. Basically floor joist on 2ft centers. Except as noted the joist were spaced so that the barrels would wedge between and not quite touch the decking. So the spacing were the row of barrels are is narrower and the 2 remaining open rows that are slightly wider. I would not make a square deck again because the 16 ft walk out that is hinged to the deck causes it to tip up in the front until you walk out on it. I recommend making the deck rectangular so that it will over come the weight of the walk out.
