A recent Fruit Heights project

A homeowner wanted to extend their existing covered deck out over a steep grade for a better view. We designed cantilevered framing tied back into the existing house structure, sized for snow load at the lot's 5,100 ft elevation, and engineered the connections back to the existing foundation. Engineering scope $1,500.

Are snow loads significantly higher in Fruit Heights?

Yes. Lots above 5,000 ft hit 50+ psf design ground snow load — meaningfully higher than valley Kaysville. Always design to lot elevation.
