roofed deck post
As you can see from the plans i made, i wanted to use a 10 feet 6x6 post that would have a beam attached at the bottom about 24 inches to support the joist. The same post will also support a beam on top for the roofs joist.
Just wanted a opinion why the city would want me to use a 8x8 post here. I will attach the roof joist to the beams as seen in the TACBOC Standard image i added and was told to do so.
They also want me to use 4 -2"x12" on the post for the beam for the roof rafter support. Seem like overkill imo
The other side of the joist is attached to a double ledger
If this seems right, any idea where to get 8x8 post or should i question this? in Caledon by the way.
Thanks
