Hi getting plans together for two decks, the first level deck will be 10' above ground level. The size is 10' x 20'
Access will be off the second floor game room.
however the home will be built with SIPS (structural insulated panels) so there are no beams or sill plates etc to tie into in the walls.
I can mount a 2by ledger on the exterior and 3/4 ply on the interior to tie the ledger in.
I was planning on using 6x6 posts on concrete piers, so this level would have 10' tall posts.
next directly above this deck a 3rd level is planned 10'x10'
Same ledger system
Not sure how to construct the posts for the3rd level
one option I was thinking of was use 8x8 post 18' tall, notch in the 2nd floor beams and mount the 3rd level beams on top of that post.
I read something about a 14' max height on posts????
Second idea, mount a 6x6 x 8' post directly on the second level deck etc.
I hope I explained the plan enough.
