Footing depth is the first local question. The Allatoona Dam 2 weather station records about 68 nights a year at or below freezing for in Cherokee County's covered ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 1.3 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
78% of the 102,294 homes in Cherokee County's covered ZIP codes are detached houses and 6% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 2000, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
