Possible decking layouts

Ok, so I'm jumping around a bit, but here are the possibilities I drew up. As you see, I didn't go with any of these. The first one was the most complicated and used 2 colors of Evergrain composite.





The next two only used Redwood, but the herringbone design would have required more blocking and work on the substructure. Plus about twice as much time and effort making all of those angled miters.





While basically I went with the last one, I ended up putting three center vertical boards down and mitering the corners where they all meet to make a "box" shape on each half. I think you can see it in the pictures below.
