Deck Building and local data in Williamson County
Footing depth is the first local question. The Smyrna 6s weather station records about 102 nights a year at or below freezing for in Williamson County's covered ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 1.7 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
74% of the 86,907 homes in Williamson County's covered ZIP codes are detached houses and 7% 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.
About 57 days a year reach 90°F, so orientation, shade and board color are design decisions in Williamson County's covered ZIP codes, not afterthoughts.
