Key Features

This 14x16 deck layout includes

  • Framing plan with joist spacing and support post placement
  • Open step design
  • Ledger board reinforcement
  • Mid-span bridging
  • Railing and built-in seating options you can add

The open step design leaves the deck's edge unenclosed, worth checking if you want a railing there instead for a raised deck.

Key Considerations When Designing a 14x16 Deck

A deck this size needs mid-span bridging and ledger board reinforcement to keep the frame from flexing under a dining table and a separate seating area at once. In ArcSite, you can adjust this 14x16 deck layout's joist spacing and support placement to match your own site and local code.
