Weight of pressure treated lumberDepending on it's intended use, pressure treated wood only weighs between .25 to .6 pounds per cubic foot more than the wood itself.

Southern yellow pine varies between 37 to 41 pounds per cubic foot,.

A 2 x 12 x 8 foot is close to a cubic foot, and would weigh only a fraction of a pound more if pressure treated. The problem is, that's dry weight, approx. 12% moisture. Most pressure treated lumber at the yard is still filled with the water used in the treating process, and that is why it is so heavy.

The weight of a 14' x 22' wood deck will depend on the type and thickness of the wood used, as well as any additional materials such as fasteners and supports. However, as a rough estimate, a wood deck of this size could weigh anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds. It is recommended to consult with a structural engineer or contractor to determine a more accurate weight based on the specific materials and design of the deck.

There is no actual answers to this. But the weight that it can hold will very if: * The Porch is concrete * The Porch is held up with wooden or steel beams * If there is any damage to the Porch or your home's foundation

that all depends on the design, size and types of materials used. I think your question is too broad, it's like asking how much weight can a bridge support?
