A deck 4.8 m by 3.6 m, with 90 mm boards and a 5 mm gap, needs 38 boards, each 4.8 m long. The count is how many boards fit across the width.
FAQ
- Which way do the boards run?
- Along the length you enter. The width is divided by the board width plus the gap.
- Should I add waste?
- The count is the theoretical fit. Add boards for cuts around posts and for unusable ends.
- Are joists included?
- No. This is the decking boards only.
