I am planning on replacing the worn 2x6 boards on my deck. The deck joists are 24" apart. Is there any advantage in using the 5/4 deck boards over the 2x6's? Obviously if I use 5/4 board I will have to add an additional joists. Also I thought of maybe flipping the existing 2x6's to the good side. I did one and it looked pretty good. But I don't know if this is only a short term solution.
