How much lumber will you need for a 12x 15 deck?

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of lumber needed for a 12x15 deck, first determine the total square footage, which is 180 square feet (12 feet x 15 feet). The amount of lumber required will depend on the type of decking material and the spacing of the boards. For standard decking boards that are 6 inches wide, you would typically need about 300 linear feet of decking to cover that area, accounting for gaps and cuts. Always consult local building codes and consider additional lumber for the frame and support structure.
