Deck Building and local data in Clarke County
Footing depth is the first local question. The Mt Wx 3 weather station records about 105 nights a year at or below freezing for in Clarke County's covered ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 19.8 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
94% of the 1,471 homes in Clarke County's covered ZIP codes are detached houses and 2% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 1981, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
About 3 days a year reach 90°F, so orientation, shade and board color are design decisions in Clarke County's covered ZIP codes, not afterthoughts.
