How to Calculate Deck Boards and Fasteners

Deck Board Fastener Calculation

Step 1. Determine size of deck and direction of deck boards.

Step 2. Determine length of deck board required.

Step 3. Calculate number of deck boards.

Width in inches divided by 5.65 = Number of deck boards.

Step 4. Calculate number of Deck fasteners required.

Fastener Type	16' board	20' board
Tiger Claw Hidden Fastener	13 per board	16 per board
Color Match Stainless Steel Screw	26 per board	32 per board

In the above example:

Required Board Length = 20'
180" divided by 5.65 = 31.85 rounds to (32) 20' boards
32 boards x 16 Tiger Claw per 20' board = (512) Tiger Claw Fasteners
