Deck

Plan a deck

Enter the rectangle, then the joists, boards, stair, and guard. Each later step uses the numbers from the earlier ones. Skip a step you are not buying yet. The list at the end merges what you kept.

Joist and rim counts are pieces to buy. This page does not check whether a joist can span the deck.

Size and height

Board direction

The house side is a ledger. It is left out of the rim joists and the guard.
