Which fences & decks calculator do you need?

Fences and decks are counted piece by piece: posts, rails, pickets, boards and fasteners. The fence calculator sets posts using QUIKRETE's method; the deck calculator follows the American Wood Council's DCA 6 for spacing and screws.

  • Wood fence: posts, rails, pickets, concrete and gravel.
  • Deck: boards, screws and joist count, with waste.
  • Check frost depth, property lines and permits before you dig.
