In addition to the 2 prior blog posts on deck safety anchor point support.
3. The opportunity presented itself with this deck to add a Double 2x6 Support Beam. This Support Beam cut the stress load on the Ledger board by over 50%. It reduced the ledger board tributary load by 85%.

| Support Beam is responsible 96 Sq Ft of Deck Tributary Load Stress, easily handled by Double 2x6 that are glued and screwed! |
The new support beam now carries the biggest percentage of the load on the deck.
