I have some decking I need to replace, I've measure it's width at 5.5 inches, however, I can only find 5 or 6 inch widths, would 5.5 inch be classed as either of those?
Decking sizing
- Thread starter paul_round
- Start date
6 " is 143mm as its stock size before shaping /planing
imperial is always smaller by between 3mm and around 7mm [2 to 3mm extra removed per inch added] 1" 22mm 2" 44mm 3" 69mm 4" 95mm 5" 119 6" 143 all approximate
