I usually decide my size depending on how far apart posts are, depth is always 4' where I live. So say I wanted to span southern pine joists 16' and post spacing was 12'. Then I would use 3- 2x12's for a beam and for footings in clay would be 24" and corner footings would be 17"...

Re: Footing Size

your depth is 36" below grade. diameter sould be approximatly 12". for best quality pour 3000# concrete to 3" above grade
