Decks
Deck Material plus Cost for Joist and Decking Calculator
Calculates the deck joist and the amount of decking material needed to build a deck.
Results for the amount of material in lineal feet.
The number of boards needed for the decking is based on the width of the board and ¼" spacing
Decking Calculator
The Calculation
- length of deck (the distance away from the house in feet and inches)
- width of deck (feet and inches)
- spacing of the deck joist (in inches on centre)
- beam ply (number of ply's of the beam)
- the width of the decking board (inches)
- Lineal foot price of joist material
- lineal foot price of beam material
- lineal foot price of the decking material
The Results
- number of joist based on spacing
- the length of the joist
- deck joist needed in lineal feet (in addition to the result for 1 it adds 2 joist for doubling the end ones plus a ledger and rim board in the lineal foot count)
- the lineal feet of the beam material
- the number of boards for the decking
- the lineal feet amount of the decking boards
- total cost of the material
