Had a 10 foot section of the pier starting to sag, so we replaced the joists with 2x6x10 pressure treated pine, rated for ground contact. Skipper recommended replacing the 4 foot wide planks, as the 10 year old planks had to come up anyway to access the joists. My Marine brain said I could leave the planks and slide in a sister joist from underneath but the sag was too great. After sweating over that for an hour I switched to Skipper's plan, and she got to use her crowbar. The old planks were repurposed as joists for a new Boardwalk behind the Sunfish Shack.
