How much decking material do you need?

Decking
Estimating & Takeoff

Deck material is ordered by square footage, and pacing a frame out then multiplying fractions on a phone at the lumber counter is how you end up a bundle short. Area mode on the T1R Range takes a laser shot for length and one for width and returns the area, 344 square feet here. The figure saves to the tool, so the order matches the deck you measured.
