I'm building a deck approximately 16 ft. X 20.ft. The deck is going to support a large hot tub. I installed 24 8-in sonic tubes 3 ft. deep on a four-foot grid (six rows of four). I want to keep the deck as low as possible to the existing grade. Do you think that triple 2X6's as the six main beams and 2X6,s on 12 in. centers as joists will support the load? the greatest span between all support columns is four feet. Thanks, Bob.
