The ledger shall be a minimum nominal 2x8. When attachments are made to the house band j oist, the band j oist shall be capable of supporting the new deck. If this cannot be verified or conditions at the house differ from the details herein, then either a non -ledger deck or full plan submission is required. See NON -LEDGER DECKS. SIDING AND FLASHING: House siding or the exterior finish system must be removed prior to installation of the ledger board. Approved corrosion resistant flashing is required at any ledger board connection to a wall of wood framed construction (see MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS). See Figure 14 for continuous flashing with drip edge. The threshold shall be carefully flashed and caulked to prevent water intrusion due to splash from the deck or melting snow and ice. MANUFACTURED WOOD I -JOIST: The term "I - Joist" denotes manufactured wood "I" joists (see Figure 13A). Many new homes constructed with wood I j oosts include 1" or thicker engineered wood products (EWP) — gravel such as oriented strand board (OSB) or structural composite lumber (SCL) including laminated veneer lumber (LVL) — as band joists (or rim joists) that can support the attachment of a deck (see Figure 14). However, some older homes might be constructed with band boards that are too thin (less than 1 ") to support a deck. In such cases, a non -ledger deck or a full plan submission is required. MANUFACTURED WOOD TRUSS: A metal plate connected wood truss (MPCWT) is an engineered, prefabricated structural component designed for each specific application. MPCWT's used in residential floors are often installed with a 2x4 lumber "ribbon" at the ends of the trusses (see Figure 13B) to tie the ends of the trusses together. The ribbon board, by itself, is not intended to support the deck ledger and deck. Installing residential decks when the floor system for the house uses MPCWT requires a standard detail provided by the truss designer, a non -ledger deck, or a full plan submission. Refer to the Technical Note — Attachment of Residential Deck Ledger to Metal Plate Connected T�ood Truss Floor System for special blocking details and attachment requirements (www.sbcindustry.com).

Rather than supporting the deck on a ledger, an additional beam with posts is provided at or within the lesser of Lo or L/4 of the house. THE ASSOCIATED DECK POST FOOTINGS SHALL BE PLACED AT THE SAME ELEVATION AS THE HOUSE FOOTING IF LOCATED CLOSER THAN 514' TO A HOUSE WALL (see Figure 2 and Figure 12). For houses with basements, a cylindrical footing (caisson) is recommended to minimize required excavation at the basement wall. Beam size is determined by Table 3. Non -ledger decks shall be attached to the house per Table 5 and Figures 22 or 23 for lateral loads. Figure 21.

The lateral connection required shall be permitted to be in accordance with Figure 22 or 23 for ledger and non - ledger decks. Hold-down tension devices shall be provided in not less than two locations, and shall have an allowable stress design capacity of not less than 1,500 lb [R507.2.3] . The wall must be sheathed with minimum 3/g" wood structural panel sheathing. Use lag screws or bolts when when fastening to a band j oist; use expansion anchors or epoxy anchors when fastening to concrete or masonry. DO NOT ATTACH TO BRICK VENEERS. VERIFY THIS CONDITION IN THE FIELD PRIOR TO UTILIZING THIS METHOD. Fasteners shall penetrate beyond the house band board and per Table 5. be installed i For non -ledger decks, blocking or framing angles can be used in lieu of j oist hangers and shall be provided on each side of each joist.
