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
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.
Yes! ArcSite lets you resize either bay independently if your site calls for an uneven split.
ArcSite exports to DWG, DXF, and PDF, so you can hand the layout off in whatever format your contractor needs.
