Refer to the Deck Beam Span Table below to assist in determining the maximum span of a given beam between posts. Obviously, the larger the beam, the greater the distance it can span between posts. A Redwood 4x6 beam should span no more than 6' between supporting posts.
Use the span tables in the links below to determine the maximum allowable lengths of joists and rafters. These tables provide maximum spans for the #2 grades of four common species of lumber (Southern Pine, Douglas Fir, Hem-fir, and Spruce-pine-fir (SPF).
SPAN TABLES FOR JOISTS AND RAFTERS 1 AMERICAN WOOD COUNCIL EXPLANATION OF TABLES 1. SCOPE hese span tables for joists and rafters are calculated T on the basis of a series of modulus of elasticity (E) and bending design values (F b). Additionally, compression perpendicular to grain design values (F c⊥) are included
3 sty 2005 · Size your deck beams and headers with our easy-to-use span table, which allows you to cross reference the post spacing and joist length to determine the right deck beam size. Try it out at Decks.com.
Calculate the size needed for a beam, girder, or header made from No. 2 pine or LVL. Covers any span and every load with pin point accuracy. Double check yourself with these span charts. Works with evenly distributed loads only.
Here is a checklist of steps to follow when using span tables. Check plans to determine span and on-center spacing (design conditions) Check codes for allowable live load, snow load, dead load and deflection; Select appropriate span table; Match span in table to design condition and determine minimum Fb and E values listed in the span table
