Deck Building and local data in Mission
Footing depth is the first local question. The Kansas City Downtown AP weather station records about 93 nights a year at or below freezing for in Mission, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 11 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
67% of the 16,305 homes in Mission are detached houses and 3% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 1959, older rim joists often push the design toward a freestanding frame.
About 47 days a year reach 90°F, so orientation, shade and board color are design decisions in Mission, not afterthoughts.
