🏗️ The 4:1 Deck Rule 📏

Extending a balcony too far without enough backspan turns your deck into a shaky diving board! 🏊‍♂️ Without proper leverage, you risk sagging, rotation, or total structural failure. 📉

The Golden Ratio: Follow the 4:1 rule to stay safe and code-compliant. ✅

• Cantilever: Max 1/4 of the backspan. 📐
• Backspan: Must be 4x the cantilever length. 🪵

Example: If you want a 2ft overhang, you need 8ft of supported wood behind it! 🛠️💪
