14x14 Deck Layout
A 14x14 deck gives you a full square of outdoor living, spacious enough for a dining set, a separate lounge area, and a dedicated grilling zone all at once. ArcSite's 14x14 deck layout template comes framed and ready for you to adjust to your own site.
Key Features
This 14x14 deck layout includes:

Key Considerations When Designing a 14x14 Deck Layout
Splitting a 14-foot square into two equal 7-foot bays keeps the load identical on both sides of the beam, simpler to frame than an uneven split would be on a non-square footprint. ArcSite keeps the letter codes and post spacing tied together, so if you relabel one member after a change, the rest of the key stays in sync instead of drifting out.
Frequently asked questions
Does the framing key label every type of member separately?
Yes, joists, posts, and hardware each get their own letter code in the key, so nothing gets mixed up on a material takeoff.
Can I change the letter codes in the framing key?
Yes! ArcSite lets you edit the letter codes and dimensions to match your own labeling system.
Does ArcSite work without any prior CAD training?
Yes. The drag-and-drop interface is built for contractors, not CAD specialists, so no prior training is needed.
