How do you figure deck load?

09/17/2008 06:50 PM beegmon

I have a covered deck 14 X 40. The 14' spans are 2 x 10 on 12" centers, bridged and doubled every 8 feet. The decking is 2 x 6 (all pressure treated)The columns are 24 x 24 brick columns every 8 feet. The house side has anchors through the brick every two feet. I would like to know how many people can safely be on the deck. Any ideas?
