I am building a 10'x13" deck. All wood is treated DF -L#2. The joists are 16'OC all 2x10" (ledger, rims, header). I have (2) 4x6" posts 10.5' OC. The beam is (2) 2x12" x 13'.

Can I replace the beam with (3) 2x8", if I add (2) 2x6" to the posts to match the 6"?

My chart shows 3-2x10 Ponderosa Pine or 2-2x12 SYP for this situation.
