2¼" x .113 Pull-out Resistance into Southern
Yellow Pine averaged **533.27 lbs per BNS
Decking Example: Installing a 12' Deck Board
on 16" centered joist with 2 BNS per joist: 533
lbs x 20 BNS =
10,660 lbs of Pull-out Resistance on this one
12' Board.
A 12’
long x 5.5” board is 5.5 sq. ft.
10,660/5.5 sq. ft = 1,938 lb/sq. ft.
Using a safety factor of 3, the stated capacity
would be 646 lb/sq. ft.
