Thanks! Yes you are correct I am in Ambleside. I guess the shot of Signature tower in the background and some of the currents shops gave it away. Are you also in Ambleside?
For your questions, from my experience on this deck I don't think it's necessary to add. My deck spans roughly 11.5' x 16' and the 11.5' sections are held by 2x8 joists and there is not much movement at all.
The frame had some movement prior to adding the skirt and deck boards, however once the added weight was put on it seems very sturdy.
Just my opinion in this regard though.
