The span tables in that document will help you determine how much material you need, based on the species you choose. Although there is no such thing as an “average” deck, these directions assume that your deck is attached to the house, is no more than 6″ off the ground, and that there are no special load requirements. All design recommendations below are suggestions only, for estimating meanings. Always check local building codes before determining the final design.
