Composite lumber is not especially slippery when compared to traditional wooden deck boards.
i have a 1250 square foot deck and need to figure out how many linear feet of decking material I need. the boards are 6 X 10
Area of each board = 8*0.145 = 1.16 metres2. Area to be covered = 7*7 = 49 metres2. Number of boards required = Roundup(49/1.16) = Roundup(42.2) = 43. This assumes that all offcuts are used. That may not be possible if any of the offcuts are shorter than the distance between the supporting joists.
If you wanted to describe the length and breadth of an irregular shape you would find the maximum length and breadth. You could sandwich the object between two flat boards, and measure the distance between the boards. Then rotate the object 90o and do it again, for the breadth.
It depends on the size of the boards.
