FAQ

Does this include stairs or railings?

No — it counts the flat deck surface only. Add stair treads and railing boards separately.

What waste for a deck?

10% standard; 15% if you are picture-framing the border or using a diagonal layout.

How wide are deck boards?

Common widths are 4, 6, and 8 inches (actual face is a little under nominal).
