Deck Ledger Attachment Details & Specifications Mason County Checklist item #56 and #69 additional wood and fastener
requirements Lag screws and bolts shall be staggered per diagram below Lag screw tips shall extend beyond the inside face of the band/rim joist Maximum gap between band/rim joist and ledger shall be ½” with spacer(s) Flashing shall be installed to prevent water intrusion at structural attachment. Deck Ledger shall be minimum 2”x 8” pressure preservative treated, No. 2 grade lumber.
(IRC Section R507.2.1) Ledger shall be equal to or greater than joist size and larger than 2 x 8 Deck ledger shall not be supported on stone or masonry veneer.
Decks over 30” must be installed with a lateral load connection. See below
Ledger Details and Requirements
Deck Attachment for Lateral Loads
Hold down tension devices shall be installed in not less than two locations per deck, within 24 inches of end of the deck. Each device shall have an allowable stress design capacity of not less than 1,500 pounds.

1 Assumes 40 psf Live load, 10 psf dead load, No 2, stress grade and wet services conditions. 2 Assumes 1,500 psf soil bearing capacity and 150 pcf concrete. 3 Incising assumed for Douglas Fir-larch & Hem-fir. 4 Assume 2,500 psi compressive strength of concrete. Coordinate footing thickness with post base and anchor requirements. • Deck footings closer than 5 feet to an exterior house foundation wall must bear at the same
elevation as the footing of the house foundation. • Do not construct footing over septic systems, drainfields or utility lines. • Pre-manufactured post anchors shall be galvanized or stainless steel.

This guard illustration shows both open and solid guards
Guards shall be structurally designed to comply with IRC Table R301.5
SAFETY GLAZING: Glazing where the bottom exposed edge of the glazing is less than 36 inches above the plane of the adjacent walking surface of stairways, landings between flights of stairs and ramps shall be considered a hazardous location. [IRC R308.4.6] Glazing adjacent to the landing at the bottom of a stairway where the glazing is less than 36 inches above the landing and within a 60 inch arc measured from the bottom tread shall be considered a hazardous location. [IRC R308.4.7]
GUARD ELEVATION- IRC Section 312
Deck plans must include the following plan details. Drawings must include all structural details relative to your project.
