Key Features
This 16x24 deck layout includes
- 2x8 joists spaced 16 inches on-center
- 4x4 support post locations
- Ledger board attachment to the house
- Mid-span bridging for long joist runs
- Open steps with optional handrails
Mid-span bridging is called out separately from the joist layout, worth keeping in mind since it's easy to skip on a deck this size if you're framing from a smaller plan by memory.

Key Considerations When Designing a 16x24 Deck
Mid-span bridging matters more on a deck this size than a smaller one, since the longer joist spans need extra reinforcement to keep the frame from flexing. In ArcSite, you can adjust this 16x24 deck layout's joist spacing and bridging to match your own span and local code.
