How many posts are needed for a 30x16 deck and screened porch?

The exact number of posts needed for a 30x16 deck and screened porch depends on several factors, including the span between posts, materials used, local building codes, and the structural requirements for supporting both the deck and the porch roof.

Typically, a project of this size may require anywhere from 6 to 10 posts or more, spaced appropriately to ensure proper support and safety. However, an accurate determination should be made during the design phase to meet code and engineering standards.
