Calculating Railing

One side of your deck borders your home. To keep things simple, we approximate railing materials needed for the remaining sides.

Deck Estimate

 = In-Stock  

 Decking: 0 Sq. ft

 Railing: 0 Ln. ft.

Decking Materials

Choose from 8, 12, 16 or 20 ft board lengths. Choose which board best fits the dimensions of the deck. Make sure to order one square edge board for the outer edge of your deck.

Calculations provided for boards installed at a 90-degree angle. If laying boards on an angle, an approximate increase of 15% may be required.

Board Length Boards Required

Railing Materials

Choose from 6-ft or 8-ft railing lengths.

Railing section size Number of sections required Number of posts, caps, skirts required per section

Trex offers railing in two lengths: 72-in and 96-in lengths. Trex Enhance® Railing is on-shelf in select stores. Customers may prefer railing posts in a different location that may then affect the railing lengths and number of sections​.

Trex Hidden Fasteners

Both clips and fasteners are required.

Combination packs Quantity required

The above estimate is for comparison purposes and does not account for substructure or labor. Square footage may vary depending on the placement of stairs, curves or additional features. Because all decks are custom-built, every project requires a personalized estimate.
