Re: design a deck with material

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @rayhemmati. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about designing a deck.

The team member was potentially referring to the Specrite calculator. This tool allows you to input your deck's dimensions and calculate the amount of timber decking required. It will also tell you the number of nails or screws required.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
