Key Features

This 12x30 deck layout includes:

  • A true 12-foot depth and 30-foot run, framed as one continuous span
  • Three equal 10-foot sections across the full length
  • 16-inch on-center spacing called out throughout
  • A callout marking the tie-in at the long edge
  • Adjustable section widths and spacing

The tie-in callout at the long edge stays visible even across this larger footprint, so the connection point doesn't get lost in a 30-foot run.

Key Considerations When Designing a 12x30 Deck Layout

At 30 feet long, this layout splits the run into three equal 10-foot sections so the framing doesn't get lost across the extra length. ArcSite lets you resize any of those sections independently, which comes in handy if your own tie-in point sits off-center along the long edge.

FAQ

Does the tie-in callout stay visible across the full 30-foot run?

Yes, the tie-in point at the long edge is marked clearly even across this larger footprint, so it won't get lost in a long span.

Can I split this into more than three sections?

Absolutely. ArcSite lets you add or resize sections to fit a different post spacing.

Is ArcSite free to try before I commit to a plan?

Yes. ArcSite offers a free trial, so you can explore the tool before deciding on a subscription.
