Estimated Decking Board Calculations
Please use the deck calculation below as a guide to how many boards you will need for your composite project. Please remember to think about the height of your deck and if you will need any boards to use as the return face. We always advise customers add on 5% to their deck orders to take account for wastage/cuttings etc.
Each board is 148mm wide x 25mm thick x 3600mm long.
2 boards = 1sq.m
Basic calculation
Width (m) x Length (m) = sq.m
Sq.m x 2 = no. of boards needed
Add on 5% for wastage/cuttings
= Total number of boards needed
E.g
Width (2m) x Length (10m) = 20 sq.m
20 sq.m x 2 = 40 boards
40 + 5% = 42 boards to be ordered
