Open calculator
03Lumber volume

Board Foot Calculator

Calculate lumber volume in board feet from board count, thickness, width, length, waste allowance, and optional price per board foot.

Open calculator
04Stair geometry

Stair / Stringer Calculator

Estimate riser count, actual rise, tread count, total run, stringer length, and stringer quantity from project-specific limits.

Open calculator
05Posts, rails & pickets

Distinct layout and purchasing questions

Deck framing estimates structural member layout, while deck boards estimate surface stock pieces. Board feet measure lumber volume. Stair calculations derive geometry and stringer quantities. Fence calculations combine bays, gates, posts, rails, pickets, and a concrete-bag allowance.
