Sizing of deck posts.
Plan is a 6 ft attached deck - about 12 ft above grade. Everything in the plans looks good except for 4x4 posts holding the deck up. While I don't like it, I can't find anyting in the IRC about posts and this is backed up by R301.1.2. Do I require an engineer to figure this out or is there somewhere that I can get a common answer for my problem?
