When you say my deck footings shall be 18 inches in diameter, does that mean all the way from the surface down to 42 inches in depth?
No, only the bottom 6-8 inches of the footing shall be the required size. You may reduce the diameter to the surface. The sides shall be uniform and smooth. The post shall bear on the center of the footing.
