No build new features like a whirlpool first, we havn’t gotten the time or the manpower to deal with this concern of yours the client is only paying us to add the whirlpool.
deck debt

Docking decks

Yeah, that’s not going anywhere.
I like how they have a thicker piece of wood for holding up the roof than for holding up the deck + roof.
Its likely the bottom supports are cantilevered out of the side of the house this held up by the entire weight of the house. The bottom 2x4s, or any boards down there, would effectively do nothing.
Just needs a couple of steel shelf brackets like this. That should do it. Steel is really strong, you might think you could bend these with your hands, but you couldn’t.
It’s because of the seam, I bet without it would be much weaker, great design 😃👍
The bend in those 2x2s is disturbing.
Its a feature, not a bug.
The straightest Home Depot has to offer!
Also: no ledger board on the house side of that deck. Even with proper post support, it’s still a widowmaker.
No leger board is a good thing in this case, probably means it’s built as a cantilever setup like this
And the tiny supports probably aren’t needed at all and they just made a funny photo.
Edit: i have no idea if that far of a span is appropriate for that type of cantilever.
That would explain the use of 2x12 (2x10 maybe?) lumber and how it kinda disappears into the house past the siding. Still, I wouldn’t want that lumber exposed to the elements like that - it’s like asking for moisture to penetrate the structure.
Yeah, the bare wood is certainly a choice if that carries through into the house.
While I’m confident this is what is shown in OP’s pic, I’d still want support posts under a girder at the edge. Over-build it the first time and be done with it.
I suggest an empirical approach. Try having ten people jump up and down simultaneously on the balcony. That will quickly determine, if any action is required.
Might be a bit of a squeeze. And where is Aonishiki, anyway?
He’s behind Onosato, second from right in the back row, he’s mostly hidden from view but you can see his feet.
”If it works don’t fix it.”
If it’s stupid and it works, then it’s an OSHA violation.
If I understand wood and math correctly then 2 x 2 equals 4. So that is 4 inches of solid wood for support. You should be okay. /s
If it doesn’t fix, work it

Illustration aside… this would just be considered a weeks worth of bug clean up by modern code standards.
Aka how divorced code is from reality.
Maybe it gets fixed with a hackathon!
Otherwise fuck off, you don’t understand our code architecture.
