Sizes
and Spans of Western Red Cedar Decking
Western
Red Cedar decking is available in a selection of thicknesses, widths
and lengths as shown in the table below.
Maximum
spans for decking shown in the table are based on a continuous beam
with two equal spans and a concentrated load of 220 lb at the center
of one span (see illustration). The true span of the decking board
is used, taking into account the thickness of the supporting joist
beneath it. Wet end- use conditions and unseasoned (green) lumber
sizes are assumed.
