I will draw texas colorado deck framing plan foundation structural drawings
Professional Architectural Designer And Building Plan Expert
About this Gig
Texas and Colorado are two very different structural environments for deck design. Texas brings high wind exposure in coastal and plains areas, requiring specific hurricane tie and anchor bolt specifications. Colorado brings snow loads that most deck builders dramatically underestimate, especially at elevation, where a deck designed for 30 PSF ground snow in Denver needs to be redesigned for 70 PSF or more in the mountains.

FAQ
What snow loads apply to Colorado decks?
Denver requires deck design for approximately 30 PSF ground snow. Mountain areas above 7,000 feet can require 60 to 100 PSF or more. I look up the correct value for your specific address.
What wind speeds apply in Texas?
Most of Texas uses 115 mph basic wind speed. Coastal Texas near Corpus Christi, Houston, and Galveston can require 130 mph or higher. I confirm for your specific county.
How deep do deck footings need to be in Colorado?
Denver requires 36 inch frost depth. Mountain communities often require 48 inches or more. I confirm for your specific elevation and municipality.
