First off, how deep the pool is has nothing to do with deck joist sizing. Second, you don't really have a 16' bye 14' deck. Depending on how you frame it, your longest span might be 16'....or it might be 14'....with a bunch of shorter spans in the thing. That said, if you had any thought of spanning either 16' or 14' with two bye sixes, think again. No way. Ron
Deck question
Hello there,
I have a deck question. I am thinking about putting up a deck around part of my pool. The building department asked me to add the deck to my application. The deck is about 16x14 with a cutout out for the steps. The pool has 52" walls and is going In semi 24" in the ground leaving 28" above. Can I use 2x6 joist and beams for this size deck or do I need 2x8's?
Thank you
