Hello everyone!
I am going to build a patio and have researched various dimensions and measurements. This has resulted in the following sketch.

I would like your thoughts and considerations on this.
(I haven't included pillars on the middle beam in the sketch, which is of course planned with a 2m interval like the outer pillars)


Dimensions:
Beams: 45x195mm
Joists: 45x145mm
Posts: 95x95mm
Distance between joists 600mm cc
Sketch of a deck construction plan, showing joists, beams, and posts with measurements. Central beam posts not illustrated, spaced 2m like outer posts. Deck plan sketch showing beam and joist layout with measurements; missing central beam posts are noted to be every 2m like outer ones.
 
I think it looks good in terms of load-bearing. Built this summer with the same post spacing and dimensions and it turned out very sturdy. However, I recommend thinking twice before you break ground so everything is good from the start.

For example, I reinforced a corner to allow for the possibility of placing a spa there, and I installed plenty of empty VP pipes to run electricity to various places where I might need electricity for some reason in the future. I also ran some ground pipes to bring Gardena hoses with water to outdoor kitchens at places where I thought such a kitchen might be located.

Simple, inexpensive things that are quick to do while building but become really tricky to do once you're finished.
