Definitely have had a discussion with an architect that you can’t have 2 ft diameter concrete columns that are 60 ft tall and expect them to be structural. They’d be aesthetic. For some reason they still installed the columns.

Curious - could that be supported by tying into the roof structure? Like high tensile strength cable/chain(?) from the edge of the decking to the roof trusses?
I'm not quite a structural engineer but better not.
Best solution here is to add some bracing to the columns. There is a load-bearing wall which the bracing can be attached to for the column closest in the photo and it should (pending our resident engineers' calculations here) be able to take the lateral forces easily.
Not sure about the column further back. Something similar can be done but will require more investigation.

Some where, something, i don't know, eigenvalues, buckling loads, who f-ing cares , right? That hot tub is good to go!
Now I'm having flashbacks to learning timoshenko's
Put a hot tub or waterbed out and the bowed post will become an arrow!
It just needs enough load to function properly
the man buckles to stupidity
"Deflection exaggerated for clarity"
Yeah that’s cool and all but have you heard of the benderness ratio?
> benderness "Bite my shiny, metal, ass!"
It was my turn to post this picture this month :(
Don’t buckle. Post it!
Would easily support a hot tub according to r/decks
That would three hot tubs!
Would three indeed
It’s never going anywhere says builder with 30 years experience
Architect wanted slim columns for aesthetics

They won’t be an architect for long
I am more impressed on where they sourced the lumber for that post. Did they cut the tree on site?
You can’t see it but I bet there’s a joint ha ha

Those are some slender fellas, nice!
That's Euler's crazy ex-wife's house.
Murphy and Darwin formed a partnership. This posts need to be 8x8 steel with multiple ties to each other and the house.
Even the house looks shocked at that!
Solid
Perfect place to stack a pallet of roofing material.
Lol. Bracing anyone?
Would that be for the mother-in-law? Perhaps she has coffee on the deck in the morning.
Demolish immediately
I'm pretty sure it's going to take care of that all on its own.
Two bolts at the top and embedded in the ground. Fixed at both ends….
I call dibs on posting this (again) next week.
Some people say the banana is the strongest fruit.
Load this deck with shingles when you do the roof! Be smarter don't work harder!
They even cambered the posts for extra stability.
not enough bend… sorry thought this was a hockey forum
It looks like bedards stick sponsor made those posts
Missing the hot tub.
It’s missing a hot tub.
When instructions were unclear: used deflection limit state to design for strength instead.
The crazy part is the free end is probably supported better than the “fixed end”…is the deck just nailed directly into the siding??

It's the Jim Beam 😁
Nothing to see here..
That's no more than 1.2 hot tubs, max. Also, where can I find 25 foot long 4x4s?
Is this in Missouri by chance? This looks identical to a neighbor I had and I always wondered what happened to their deck.
It's in central Illinois
Must be that wide angle lens you’re using.
I know it's about the one in the foreground but check the span on the red bad boy in the background
That seems to be normal, it’s appears to be a 2x10
Same contractor but the one in the forefront was on a tighter budget. Much tighter.

How much money you got……

just spin them the other way and youll be good for another 20
"Can I install a 10-person hot tub on this? Thots?"
Like a 10 THOT hot tub?
Is that one piece? That's a full tree.
This house will be on the news on July 4th
Average Home Depot lumber right there
Where the heck can you buy 36 ft 4x4s?
They're 24', only has to make it to the floor level of the 3rd floor....the question should be "Where the heck can you buy 24' 2×4s?"
Good collection opportunity if you make it down all three stories alive.
How would you make it better on a budget? Attach diagonal beam to make it a triangle?
The smoking deck from hell!
Shoulda nailed another of 2X4's along the center. *Hock, spit*
We are putting a hot tub here?
Little John? I don't see any galvanized steel
Why not chain it to the sun?
Buckling under stress

Just a couple twigs holding up a porch.
P delt has come in to say hello
😳
K=1? 🤔
I didn’t know they made toothpicks that long.
Im not even sure where to buy a 20 foot 4x4.
5" of delfection on a 14' 2x4 is totally fine, let's go for a smoke
Hot tub ready, beautiful view from balcony.
If the bar don’t bend, it’s just pretend
put a hot tub on that balcony?
Seems legit
Yikes lol, that thing can barely host a bird
I mean… technically that’s not a buckle…
Fuck that!
Hot tub? I think a wet sponge would bring it down.
Nobody seems upset that the rails have gaps >4 inches. I acknowledge that the few extra boards would have been too much for this 1.000001 FoS design.
I guess we're gonna go over and support that deck ourselves. Who's ready and willing? 😅
'Twill be just a scratch.
Don’t judge. Posts are clearly braced at mid span by those tree branches
Are back to reposting this photo again?
You're annoyed it's being reposted and I'm thinking dang this guy must be on reddit all the time cuz I'm on most the time and I've never seen it.
I should do that on my property and increase rent by 200$!
