Are Noggins Necessary Decking?

Most decks will not require the noggins, although it is advisable to always add a couple.

Why do you need noggins decking?

Noggins are used to keep the joists from twisting or buckling. Measure and square-cut noggins to fit snugly between the joists.

How often should you put noggins in decking?

I would say it has more to do with the framework, if you used 4x2, i would noggin every 1500, but in your case stick it in the middle, If you used 6x2, i wouldn't worry, noggins should be placed every 2m if over 2m.
