Building a deck... Sanity check on Menards deck builder
The deck builder is myself (well, DIY... but engineer with access to CAD - if that makes it better or worse...) I was just copying something that menards had in their &quot;deck designer&quot; program, trying to simplify things a hair.      Here is how I fixed things - rotate the joists 45 degrees.
It makes the joists on the south end of the drawing a bit trickier as far as cuts go - (moreso on the other side of the pool where the angles are shallower), but here is what I have.  I was able to fit things with a 2' cantelevir while still keeping my holes at least a foot away from the pool.  It does make for a tricky 65ish degree cut, for the rim joist, though...
