Always check with your local building code officials to verify the rooftop deck loading requirements in your area. This chart will be a helpful tool for them to review, especially if the area the project will be built in has higher snow loads or other requirements.

When building a rooftop deck structure, it is essential that you have a licensed architect or professional engineer inspect and evaluate the existing structure for proper strength and suitability prior to assembly of a rooftop deck. Your deck will be no stronger than the structure it rests upon.

Critically Important Information

About Rooftop Decks

Every rooftop deck, balcony, patio or other structure that is being used to support additional weight MUST be structurally sound and designed to carry this additional load. If a structure is not designed to carry an additional load, it should not be built on. Remember, no two buildings are exactly alike. Even so-called "cookie cutter" designs are unique. Every new building and existing building is different in terms of specific construction materials, exactly how it was designed, precisely how it was built and a multitude of other variable factors. 

1. For safety sake, ALWAYS consult the appropriate professionals before designing or building any structure.
   
   
2. Always Consult a Professional Engineer** We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have your existing roof structure inspected by a professional engineer. Every built structure is designed and constructed to be stable to specific design limits. A professional engineer can provide valuable insight that will allow you to avoid costly or potentially dangerous mistakes. A Professional Engineer has been trained to evaluate how strong a structure is and how much additional weight it can safely support. It doesn't matter how strong a rooftop deck is if the structure it is being built upon cannot carry the load.
   
   
3. Always Consult your Local Building Inspector or Code Official*. Building Inspectors and Building Code Officials know the proper rules and applicable building codes required within their area of responsibility. Many jurisdictions, municipalities and areas have various loading requirements based on local climatic conditions and other factors. Snow loads, especially, vary from area to area, and local code officials should have a high level of familiarity with them. Please understand that these code requirements were not put into effect arbitrarily, they were enacted to protect everyone's safety.
   
   Always seek out the expertise of local building officials - it is the right thing to do and is in everyone's best interest - including your own. Building officials can also provide helpful information about railing requirements and other design, construction and safety issues that should be carefully considered before and during the construction process.
   
   
4. Licensed Architects and Builders can also be a great resource to help guide you along, professionally, during the design and construction process of your project. Their training, knowledge and experience can greatly influence the overall results for a long-lasting successful project. 
   
   

*It is your responsibility to always confirm local code requirements with local building official or Professional Engineer prior to constructing a rooftop deck or other structure.

**Mataverde, Eurotec and General Woodcraft will not be responsible for determining the suitability and structural requirements necessary for the proper evaluation of an existing roof system or other structure. A licensed architect or professional engineer must evaluate the existing structure PRIOR to construction of any deck system.
