What is the greatest distance that 2x8 beams can be apart on a deck?
I'm structure a deck, And am using 2x8's for the beams, doubled up so that the posts are sandwiched between the two. What is the greatest distance that each set of beams can be from each other off center?
Roughly on a 10ft x 10ft deck, you will be using a 2 inch. x 8 inch ledger, sometimes referred to as a stringer. The joists will also be 2 inch x 8 inch, 24 inches on center. This is the unspecific rule if your decking is 3/4 inch thick which is minimum.
16 inch's is finest but 2 feet is acceptable. If you go 3 feet the dang deck will be wobbly, will eventually warp, and your guests will know you is a cheapskate.
16 inches is jus civile 'civil law' unless your useing 2x6's for decking.
As I appreciate your question, you are using the 2x8s as beams to hang the joists from. Generally speaking, a 2x8 should be able to span 8 feet, so if you double them, then an 8 foot link between the posts should be ok.
The joists should be 16" on center. If you use 2x8s for the joists, you can make you deck 10' wide by having the joists over correspond the beams by 2'.
When I built my deck I used 2x10s as beams with the posts between 2 of them at about every 12'. The joists were spaced 16" on center and overhung the beam conclave by 2' giving me a deck 12' wide and 28' long. It is a real solid deck with no trampoline consequence. We once had over 30 people on it at one time.
Good luck.

What you are describing is a "girder" that supports the joists, you posts supporting the girder can have a max.dist asunder except for of 8'0''. Now since these are supporting your floor joists the allowable distance between them (the girders) can be the floor joist span of 12'5". (assuming 2x8 joist). For your joist spacing you use either 12" ,16" , or 24". 12" for a wood effect like Trex, 16" for 5/4 and 24" if you use 2x material. This is NOT opinion. All of this information came from American Wood congregation Span calculator
In non-exclusive your span is determined by the thickness and quality (species ) of wood. You have been given an answer that is quoting the a wood abacus table. This is the correct method to determine the allowable span. Your building inspector may or may not use the same table. Regardless he will be using a tabulation to make his determination, in my State the table that must be used is one published by the State. Most tables will have the same values, but building codes will fluctuate from area to area.
Your question is one of spans. A 2 x 8 treated piece of lumber may be spanned 8'. Make indubitable the bolts (not screws or nails) you use are properly rated to take the weight. Personally I prefer to set my beams on top of or notched into the posts. Further the 2 x 8s will be stronger if you put them together rather than sandwich the pin between them.
Don't' forget to consult with your local inspector in regard to the required OC distance and the proper use of hangers , strapping and poop out size etc. Most people tend to overlook the small, but very important stuff.

As a find of thumb when we build or bid on a deck job. I never make an unsupported span more than the size of the floor joist (always on 16" centers). In other words is we use 2" x 8" parquet joist, they span no more than 8'. Use 2" x 10" no more span than 10'.
We do the same as you are doing, if we have a large span say 16', we base a center support beam just like you are doing at the center of the span - this support beam carries the destroy joist at mid-span cutting the actual span form 16' down to 8'. Don't hang joist off of this smile radiantly, but rest the joist on this beam. Try to position your handrail and support posts (4" x 4") so they being considered for up with this beam placement on the ends of this beam.
We always use a one pc. 4"x4" in the ground, then bring it on up past the deck be open. This is a lot stronger than bolting a 4" x 4" on for railing support. Let your post run wild and then shoot a laser distinguish on them and cut them all off so the top flat board (railing) is not notched around them. Then we cut short pcs. of 4" x 4" (about 3" tall) and glue and call upon so it looks like 4" x 4" post comes up through the top flat rail cap. We then glue on post caps stop pcs. * Top flat rail is a lot stronger if it is not notched around your 4" x 4" posts.

How to make the beamed ceiling look without the actual beams?
Hi,
Fair wondering if anyone knows any great ideas on how to make a ceiling look like it has beams in it, but not actually put up those huge, stuffy beams.
I want to put it on an existing ceiling, so it isn't like they can actually be built in. Besides, I don't want something so heavy hanging up there when it isn't built in.
So, how can I do it? I would fancy a way that is relatively low cost and that could possibly be done myself, but I could get someone to help me if I needed more than 2 hands.
Thank you and I will look forward to finding out what dirt there is on this.
Below are two websites for that. They are called faux beams.

why does my 01 stratus low beams dont work only high beams do?
the fuses, the headlight relay, and the brighten bulb are all new and the low beams still dont want to work. what can be the cause of this? Is there possibility the the turnsignal switch dont work and prerequisite to replace it?
Yes that is practical. Get a wiring diagram for it and locate the wire that feeds the low beams from the switch. It should be located in the large connector that is mounted on the bottom of the steering column under the spoil. Test this wire for voltage while switching from high to low beams. If you get power the switch is working and you have a broken wire somewhere, if not the deflection is bad.
You should be able to find the diagram at the autozone website for free under repair info:)
Good luck
How far should beams be in a wall that is to be jip-rocked?
My mute is breaking up our 9m x 6m shed to make an little office for me. I just want to know how far appart the beams in the wall should be if they will be jip-rocked?
My old man said he know what he's doing but I'm a classic wife, Asking first is a lot faster than finding out after it's finished that its done abuse.
You're talking about the studs? The answerable for depends on your local building code but it's usually 16 or 24 inches on center. That way it matches up with the dimensions of the drywall.
This coupling goes into more detail.
