You should follow the MFG for gaping guidelines as your first rule. You can go to

the website of the MFG and usually get the installation instructions.

If you don't like the gap, you can go with vinyl, most inter connect and are not gaped and aslo have a water channel. But its a lot more money for this. On the other hand,they take more abuse, don't fade, and last longer.

They should all have the same gap, 1/4, or 1/8, same all gap between parallel boards.

This gives the even appearance, if not, the boards that are butted stand out.

When doing designs, 45deg can meet. This is just how I have done all my compost decks.

Give Those Deck Boards a Little Space?

To achieve a faultless finish on your new deck, be sure to stagger the joints when you install the deck boards. When nailing the deck boards on to the frame, be sure to leave even spacing between the boards. Most experts recommend 1/8 inch between two inch boards. To avoid measuring over and over, simply place a 16d nail between the boards to keep them in place and insure you have the right measurement.
