Deck in latest FHB – is 12 X 15 too big
I was fascinated by the deck building article in the latest issue showing the deck where the supports were angled into the wall below instead of using vertical supports. Does anyone think this method could be used for a deck that’s 12′ deep and 15′ wide? In my case, there’s a 6′ wide sliding door centered under the deck so that is a limiting factor on the spacing of the angled supports. Any thoughts?

It theoretically could be done, but 12' is too far to use the method used in the article. Every foot of additional width out from the house adds up exponentially.
