Key Features

This 10x18 deck layout includes:

  • A true 10 by 18 foot footprint at 180 square feet
  • Three equal 6-foot framing bays across the 18-foot depth
  • A 24-inch on-center callout on the framing plan
  • An arrow marking the house attachment point
  • Adjustable bay length and spacing

The 24-inch on-center callout stays visible right on the plan, a detail inspectors look for before they'll sign off on the framing.

Key Considerations When Designing a 10x18 Deck Layout

Running three 6-foot bays across an 18-foot depth keeps each span shorter than stretching two wider bays across the same footprint, which is part of why the on-center spacing holds at 24 inches instead of needing to tighten up. ArcSite lets you test a two-bay layout instead if you'd rather work with fewer, longer joists.
