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.

Key Considerations When Designing a 10x16 Deck Layout

Customize & Download

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.
