Does anyone know where I can get the deck details design form for one and two family dwellings?
 
Welcome

Is this for yourself

Or so you can review deck plans and installs???
 
Uncertain if you mean code type information/details but have you checked out DCA6?
If not search it, there are several pictures that include measurements and similar details...
We have a form in the office that's a little outdated called Deck Details for one and two family dwellings no body in the office knows where it came from but I'm looking to find it and update it or find an updated version. Thanks

Joe
 
As Keystone says above, definitely check out DCA6, it is Design for Code Acceptance (DCA) 6 - Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide, and there are versions for both the 2012 and 2015 residential code. It is available at www.awc.org
 
fatboy, Is the diagonal boards attached to the underside of the deck floor joist for the lateral load requirement?
 
To be honest, this is the first time I noticed them. I don't do reviews anymore, and didn't have any input in the development of the handout.

I would say that the diagonal bracing is an alternate to the details in R507.2.4
