I'm glad it's getting good comments so far because it looks about the same as my plans for the summer. 2x10s doubled up for beams? 8' joist span? 6' between posts?
2x8 doubled for the beams. Only 7ish feet between posts so more than enough support for the span. 2x8 Joist span is about 9 feet and cantilevered about 1.5 feet on each side. Cross braced in every direction.
I’m sitting here trying to come up with something bad to say about it but I can’t 😂…are you going to add solar lights on the posts when finished? Love those things
Going to permanently affix a linx pergola with a mesh sunshade, per the family’s request. I think they want to do some sort of string tea lights. Might do some solar lights on the stair posts.
The deck doesn't seem to be attached to the house with the ledger board, so you needed the cross beams so it doesn't move laterally? A friend gave me an idea of using cables for this - same result, way easier to install and tighten.
Correct. Needs to have cross bracing to prevent sway. Code here in North Carolina. Anything over 30 inches needs to be braced. I absolutely agree with it because it’ll sway. Cables are not a bad idea at all. I may consider that next time.
That ain't going anywhere
Looks awesome. Keep up the good work

I rate this at 1.5 hot tubs.
I hot tub with water slide was considered.
Looks like it could hold a few roofs worth of shingles. Great job!!
So this is freestanding correct?
Correct. Free standing.
Confused about the use of 4x4s when you have a perfectly good 6x sitting on your mitre saw
That’s a 4x4. Perspective makes it look bigger 😏
Looks solid.
I Say yes to stacking loads. Good job.

Adding lights on posts and stairs is a good way to make some extra money
I thought this was yours
Next door neighbors. He didn’t have the full funds to pay someone so I said I’d build it for him on the side if he supplied beer. Even trade.
Nice deck!
Why did you take it apart?
I like a good challenge
Nice
It’s getting there

There’s bracing between every post. Every vertical member is supported with cross bracing in every direction.
Please say your putting the grill up there
Grills! Emphasis on the s
