It's unlikely you would use many 2X4s on a deck. The joists (under the decking) are usually 2X6 or larger. The larger the joist, the fewer you need, because you can space them further apart. The decking is made of 1X6s nailed or screwed to the top of the joists, and running perpendicular to the joists or at an angle to the joists. The amount of decking you need depends on whether you intend to make a pattern (herringbone) or a typical deck. The railing might include 2X4s as the top rail, but the support posts are usually 4X4s, and in between those, you usually use small stock to add the decorative posts/slats.
