• Deck surface is over 30" above grade — a guardrail is code-required. Enable railings.

Framing is sized from AWC DCA-6 prescriptive tables (40 psf live + 10 psf dead, No. 2 grade) as a planning aid only. Verify all members, connections, and footings against your locally adopted building code and inspector before building.
