Frequently Asked Questions
A full deck material takeoff includes decking boards, joists, beams, support posts, concrete footings, railing sections, stair stringers, treads, and all fasteners needed for the project.
Deck footings should extend below the frost line, typically 12–48 inches deep depending on your climate. Footing diameter is usually 12–16 inches for standard decks. Always check local building codes.
Posts are typically spaced 6–8 feet apart along the beam. Corner posts are required at each corner. For a 16x12 ft deck with 6 ft post spacing, you will need approximately 6–8 posts.
Wood railing is affordable and classic. Cable railing offers unobstructed views. Glass railing is modern and premium. Metal railing is durable and low-maintenance. Choose based on budget, view, and style.
