Enter cost per linear foot and wastage % for Stumps, Bearers, Joists and Boards to Calculate individual and Total Costs.
Linear feet and cost are auto updated when the deck is re-calculated, with individual costs for stumps, bearers and joists displayed in each section.
Hit + and - buttons to open or close spacing, re-calculating the deck to find how different spacing options effect cost and materials.
If your deck is slightly out of square (different widths), calculate results for both widths, and set out each end to suit.
If necessary, adjust number of deck boards to match in both calculations, and see if different board gaps at each end of deck are acceptable, compared to equal gaps and cutting the last board at an angle.
Use the widest dimensions for linear quantities.
If you're cutting concrete, stone or
ANYTHING and there's
DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's
NO DUST -
Silicosis Sucks
What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A
Meter is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A
Metre is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the US ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
All Imperial inputs and dimensions are actual physical finished sizes (unless otherwise noted)
All Metric Inputs in Millimetres (unless otherwise noted)
