Deck Building and local data in Cobb County
Footing depth is the first local question. The Mableton 1 N weather station records about 64 nights a year at or below freezing for in Cobb County's covered ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 1.2 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
65% of the 315,546 homes in Cobb County's covered ZIP codes are detached houses and 9% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 1990, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
About 10 days a year reach 90°F, so orientation, shade and board color are design decisions in Cobb County's covered ZIP codes, not afterthoughts.
