Got into a cantilevered deck fix. Main joists cantilever out 50% of the way of the deck, then each side a joist is sistered on to finish the cantilever. Plan is to open up the floor and replace whats rotted, and add new cantilever. Not all joists will need replaced.
My thought is I want to have the new joists sistered go all the way back to the support, and be tied into the wall. I dont want to have them terminate X distance back.
Whats the best advice for these? Make sure existing is tied down at walls?
