Deck Installation and local data in Kansas
Footing depth is the first local question. The Olathe 3e weather station records about 98 nights a year at or below freezing for in our covered Kansas ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 13.8 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
67% of the 273,367 homes in our covered Kansas 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 1989, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
With rain or snow on about 65 days a year, installation details that move water away — joist tape, ledger flashing and correct board gaps — matter more in our covered Kansas ZIP codes than the board brand.
