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.
- 90 fasteners will cover approximately 50 sq. ft. (using 5.5" decking boards on 16" centers).
- To calculate the number of start/stop clips needed, multiply the width of deck in feet x.75. If clips will be used for last board, double the amount calculated
above.
