 Don't know how much material you need?

To calculate the number of linear feet of decking needed, measure the square footage of your deck and multiply that by 2.28. Depending on the complexity of your deck it's advisable to add 10% for cut-off waste (Example: 10 ft. x 10 ft. = 100 square ft. x 2.28 = 228 linear feet plus 10% or 23 ft equalling 251 ft total). If you are ordering 12' boards, divide 12' into 251ft to calculate your quantity of boards, which would equal about 21 boards (this would be your quantity ordered). We have, however, made this easy for you by automating this calculation on this product page. Please note that the calculated accessories also have smaller packages in the accessory section if required.

To calculate how many fastening clips required, calculate 2.5 clips per square foot when joists are on 16” centers and 5 clips per square foot when joists are on 12” centers. The automated calculations on this page assume 16" centers, so if you're using 12" centers, please manually calculate your requirements and adjust the quantity accordingly. Please note that the automated calculations are used as a guide and we do not guarantee 100% accuracy on your requirements. We are not liable if you over or under-order your materials and any returns must comply with our returns policy.
