Key Features

This 12x14 deck layout includes:

  • A true 12 by 14 foot footprint, already sized
  • A 6-foot and 8-foot bay split across the depth
  • 24-inch on-center spacing marked directly on the drawing
  • A callout on the house tie-in point
  • Adjustable bay widths, spacing, and labels

The beam position falls exactly where the two bays divide, so the framing sequence is clear before you build.

Key Considerations When Designing a 12x14 Deck Layout

The 6-foot and 8-foot bay split isn't an even divide, it's set by where the house tie-in callout falls, so the shorter bay lines up with the ledger connection instead of the framing needing a separate adjustment. ArcSite lets you drag that tie-in point to a different spot on the ledger, and the bay split follows it automatically.

FAQ

Does this layout mark where the deck ties into the house?

Yes, a callout marks the tie-in point, and 24-inch on-center spacing is marked directly on the framing plan.

Can I adjust the bay widths to a different split than 6 and 8 feet?

Yes! ArcSite lets you resize either bay to fit a different post spacing.

Can ArcSite help me price this job out for a client?

Yes. ArcSite can turn this layout into a materials estimate you can quote directly to a client.
