Hi All,

I’ve got a walkway to build, am planning on using Trex, and have a question:

How far can you let 2×6 Trex overhang past the end of a joist and expect it to be strong enough to walk on?

Does two inches seem reasonable?

The walkway needs to be 36 inches wide. I’m thinking about running a couple of parralel 6×6 down the length of the walkway 20 inches apart, as that’s the max permissible span on the 2x Trex. That would leave me with about 2-1/2 inches on either side.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
DRC
