laminated bearers

Hi,

In the span tables in Staines' Decks & Pergolas construction manual, some of the bearers are listed as (for example) 2/145x45, with a footnote describing this as placing one bearer either side of the post, or laminated together according to A.S. 1684.2.

Can anyone please elaborate on this process of lamination ?

I'm planning a low deck, sitting the bearers directly into stirrups, so having one bearer either side of a post will not be an option for me.

Cheers.
