Decking & lumber

Choose the calculation that matches your next decision. Use the same measurement basis when you carry a result from one tool to another.

Choose the right starting point

Board foot & lumber calculator: Calculate board feet, volume, whole-piece allowances and lumber costs. The related guide explains the inputs and practical limits.

Deck material calculator: Estimate deck boards from clear dimensions, board direction, gaps, cuts and a chosen allowance. The related guide explains the inputs and practical limits.

Keep assumptions consistent

Check units, pricing bases and which allowances have already been included. A result from one estimate does not automatically synchronize with another tool. Keep a copy of the assumptions when comparing alternatives.
