Automatic Estimating
For easiest estimating and most jobs, you should use our Easy Estimator. Our estimator will till you the exact
number of clips you need for your job.
Manual Estimating
If your deck has multiple curves, turns and shapes, you can easily manually estimate the number of clips you will need.
- Multiply the number of joists by the number of decking boards to equal the number of fasteners needed. You will need one fastener at each deck board and
joist intersection.
- 175 fasteners will cover approximately 100 sq. ft. (using 5.5" decking boards on 16" centers).
