Question about framing on a 16x10 deck
Went to bid a job today, and the customer showed me a 16' wide 10' long deck. Its really like a walk way, from their back porch to their in ground pool. He said that it was done with 2x4 framing, and i asked him if he wanted to go back with that. He said he did. So now i am trying to put together a bid, and im wondering if i do 16OC will it be enough to not be bouncy? Also, it seemed like it was lying directly on the ground. Which doesnt seem right to me. Im thinking there probably is pavers under there, but im not sure. Can someone please give their opinion on the spacing of the framing, and whether i should have pavers? If i put pavers, is every 4' sufficient? Thanks alot. Im new to giving bids, and just trying to do good. Thank you. submitted by /u/MysteriousFruit8740 [link] [comments]
