Key Features

This 10x16 deck layout includes:

  • A true 10 by 16 foot footprint, the exact size drawn in
  • Two matching 8-foot bays across the depth
  • 24-inch on-center spacing marked on every joist
  • A labeled arrow at the ledger tie-in point
  • Editable labels and dimensions throughout

The ledger tie-in arrow stays marked on the drawing, worth double-checking against your house framing before you cut the first joist.

Key Considerations When Designing a 10x16 Deck Layout

Splitting a 10x16 footprint into two matching 8-foot bays keeps the joist spacing even across the whole depth. ArcSite gives you room to shift that split or the 24-inch spacing if your own ledger tie-in lands somewhere the default arrow doesn't.

FAQ

Should I double-check the ledger tie-in point before building?

Yes, the arrow marks where the plan expects the tie-in, and it's worth confirming against your own house framing before you cut the first joist.

Can I make the two bays uneven instead of matching?

Yes! ArcSite lets you resize either bay independently if your site calls for an uneven split.

What file formats can I export this drawing in?

ArcSite exports to DWG, DXF, and PDF, so you can hand the layout off in whatever format your contractor needs.
