I had a numerous thoughts about where to place the posts as the track turned. Each radius track section is about 3ft long, but having the posts that close would look ridiculous. When I was planning to dig footings I staked the backyard every 5ft. Realizing that I could cantilever the top decking off the sides of the lower spans, I decided to space the posts around the bends at 8ft as well. Over the past week I managed to find more deck blocks and buy another load of lumber to keep going. Hopefully over the long weekend I can get a lot accomplished.
