A Complete Guide to Wood Column Design

[@manjaripoudel-cd9ms]

very helpful but how did you get 6.75k for dead load? I got 4.32k...and for the 6x6 column, referring to NDS supplement did you check Douglas Fir Larch for 6x6 post and timber?Table 4d? I followed your design, it was helpful but my dead load + live load was 18. 27k and yours is 21k.. although my load was still adequate, I wanna know if I am missing something or was it just a blunder while you calculated the dead load? It would be really helpful if you could clear this off my head. Thanks for a great and fun video.

Thank you for watching and double checking the numbers. You’re correct! The dead load should be 4.32k, not 6.75k. For the post, I did use DFL No. 1 posts and timber from table 4D. Note that there are two lines for posts and timbers in this case. That’s for two different grading agencies, but Fc is 1,000psi for both.
