Project square footage times 12, divided by width coverage of product.

Refer to product specification chart for actual coverage for each nominal size.

Example:  The project is 10’ by 20’, or 200 square feet to be covered by 5/4 x 6 decking (5.5” coverage).

200sq feet x 12inches = 2400 divided by 5.5” coverage = 436.36 lineal ft.

Rule of Thumb:  Add 10% lineal footage to requirements.  

For the above example, we would quote 480 lineal feet.

This can have a significant impact on the tally required (mix of lengths).

Particularly on L-shaped or irregular deck patterns where the direction of the joists may change.  Deck packages generally come in 6’-16’ random lengths, 60-70% 12’ and longer.

5/4x6 decking is designed to be installed on 16” center

2x6 decking is designed to be installed on 24” centers
