Here is a great link found by ICE for decks, stairs and ramps put together by a municipality:

Very comprehensive

I didn't find it. Francis found it. Thanks for listening.

I sent this PDF to work and will use several pages as handouts.

A reminder that among other changes Virginia amended residential stair riser and tread to 8¼" max. - 9" min. respectively and the code does not require steel fasteners of ½" dia. or larger to be HDG (Hot-Dipped Galvanized).

Hope this information saved cost in building safer structures and getting right the first time; please donate!

Papio,

This link, and the one submitted by "Francis V.", are both very good sources, ..chocked

full of information, & pictures.

I think the only details I am cautious of are no flashing shingled over the ledger and no full beam bearing on the chesterfield handout....
