It is not engineering advice and it does not replace your building department, a licensed engineer or a contractor. Span and footing checks come from published prescriptive tables for typical conditions. Your town may use a different code edition, snow load, frost depth or soil value. Most decks need a permit. Check with your local permit office before you buy materials or build.
