Hiya, I need a bit of advice or help. Feel really silly asking this but I am trying to calculate how many decking boards I need. Please can anyone help me? The area is 3. 6m x3m so 10. 8m2. The decking boards are 3600mm in length, 125mm width and 38mm depth. Does anyone know how I would work out how many decking boards I would need please? This has confused me lol

If you can run them full length of the board (3. 6mtrs) you would need 24 full length boards. You may get away with 23 depending on how big a gap you leave between each board or have to cut you last one down if that makes sense?

3000 divided by 125 =24

That would be slightly over 3meters with spacing
