- What size will the deck boards be? The most popular sizes are 2x4, 2x6 and 5/4x6. The most obvious difference is in the board width: 2x4's produce more seams in a deck surface than 2x6's. You'll need more 2x4's to cover a surface, but it ends up being about the same amount of wood overall and about the same price.

Which is better for deck flooring: 2x6 or 1x6 deck boards? Which is better for deck flooring: 2x6 or 1x6 deck boards? My current deck flooring is done with 2x6x10' boards, however they have degraded to the point now where they need to be replaced. I'm wondering if there are any specific pros or cons for using the same 2x6x10' boards, vs. 1x6 deck boards? Of course I realize that the 1x6 boards wont support the same amount of weight as the original boards, but I think the 2x6's might have been a bit overkill anyway.

Joist Layout for Stronger Decks Both the 2009 IRC and the DCA6-09 allow #2 southern pine 2x10s to span 13 feet 1 inch at 24 inches on-center at a design load of 50 psf. That means these joists can span the 12-foot depth of the deck, and the beam can be located at the perimeter. Nine joists will be needed for the 16-foot width. (I prefer to double the outside joists, as do some deck builders, which adds 2 joists, for a total of 11.

- Convert the actual width of the deck board to a decimal and add 0.13 for the 1/8-inch spacing required between the boards. Divide the result by 12 for the decimal portion of one foot. For example, the decimal portion of a foot for a 5 ½-inch deck board with 1/8-inch spacing is 5.63 divided by 12 which is 0.47.ivide the square footage of the deck by the square feet each deck board will cover.

But 14 is the starting point where there is plenty of room around a table . So a 14 deck becomes a good buy. Deck proportions, we prefer decks to have good proportions, generally wider then deep looks better, so a 18x14 or even 16x14 with the bigger size being along the house and the smaller size projecting into the rear yard looks proper and is a good deck size in general.
