Depends on which way it runs. They should be spaced every 16 inches on center. Sometimes they are spaced 24 inches. So if they run the 10 foot way, spaced 16 inches there would be between 7 -8.
14ft to girder
16ft 5 inches
Yes, a 2x10 can be used for a 20-foot patio cover, but its suitability depends on various factors such as the spacing of the supports, the load it needs to bear (including snow, wind, and the weight of the roofing material), and local building codes. It's essential to consult with a structural engineer or a building professional to ensure that the dimensions and materials used will provide adequate support and safety for the structure. Proper installation and reinforcement may also be required.
That only shows to be 36lbs per s/f...........should be fine..
For a deck, 2x8 or 2x10 joists are commonly used, depending on the size and load requirements of the deck.
These calculations are not difficult, but you must know the load (including the floor weight) that will be carried. And the deflections that the appropriate building regulations allow.
Yes, 2x6 lumber can be used for deck joists, but it may not be as strong or durable as larger dimensions like 2x8 or 2x10. It is important to consider the span and load requirements of your deck when choosing the appropriate size for joists.

It will hold more weight than you can ever put into it !- My floor joists are 2x10 at 16 inch intervals, and I installed a 48 x 60 spa tub that holds about 20 cubic feet of water, that weighs around 1200 pounds. Include two average people in it and you have over 1,500 pounds ! - The floor holds just fine .
No, they are not equivalent. 2x10 = 20 and 5x25 = 125.
6-2x10 is equal to -14.
The load-bearing capabilities of a 2x10 span in residential construction depend on factors like the type of wood, span length, and load requirements. In general, a 2x10 made of standard lumber can typically support a floor or roof load of up to 50 pounds per square foot over a span of around 10-15 feet. However, it is important to consult a structural engineer or building code requirements for specific calculations and recommendations.
