I am building a new deck - from wood tables I know that my joists need to be 2 x 8 to span the 10 feet of my pond filter pit that is built below the deck. I do not want to give up 8 " of head room while working under the deck - so I am considering steel of some shape or form to use for the joists and would like to stay at 2" or less height.
Any help in deturmining some material that would do the job would be helpful. The smallest if found was 1 1/4 by 1 1/4 square tubing with 1/4 inch walls. The other dimension is 16' so the joists need to go across the 10' side. I can put them as close as 12" oc.
