How to Estimate Deck Boards

Decking is estimated by area. Measure each part of the deck (any unit) and add them up. One board covers its length times its actual width - a nominal 6-inch board is really 5.5 inches, so use the preset. Divide the deck area by one board's coverage and add about 10% for waste. Joists, posts and fasteners are separate.
