I believe the support posts are supposed to be no more than 8' apart, that deck looks to be about 16' (if the joists are 2' apart). A second set of support posts in the center of the deck would have mitigated the issue all around.No supports are need near the house if it is attached properly.
I'm definitely not a professional deck builder, but before I built mine I did quite a bit of research. I like to know how to do things right, and preferably only once.I believe the support posts are supposed to be no less than 8' apart, that deck looks to be about 16' (if the joists are 2' apart).

To me the deck looks like it was built solid as a rock, but was not attached correctly to the house or the outer supports...I'm definitely not a professional deck builder, but before I built mine I did quite a bit of research. I like to know how to do things right, and preferably only once.

I own a facility/building automation company now, damn near impossible to find qualified help! Lot of folks have great resume's and can definitely talk the talk, but you put them in front of a piece of equipment with a multimeter and they are as lost as a goose in a hail storm.

Started in relay and air-logic controls and evolved along with controls through many PLC, VFD, Servo, Robot and network manufacturers. Am retired now, in the process of rebuilding my 750 sq ft rear deck. Slow................
And, my favorite recreation on-site, especially at new builds, was to watch the mechanical contractors. Always an amazing rewrite of the laws of physics, on a daily basis.
