Decking Sub-Frame Help Calculating Quantities - Fuzzled Head.

[thunt]

The more i look at it, the more i get confused as I keep getting different quantities.
I would really appreciate some help, or direction to an easy to use calculator.

Basically looking at sub-frame quantities of 6x2 and 4¨ posts.

I have 2 areas to deck -

A. 3.6 x 4.2m
B. 2.4 x 2.7m

A. I have calculated 10 x 4.8m lengths of 6x2 - running the 4.2m length, with excess for noggins.

B. I have calculated 7 x 3.6m lengths of 6x2 - running the 2.7m length, with excess for noggins.

Posts I think 24 in total - not certain at all on this - 6 x 3m lengths of 4x4 - cut to 600mm = the 24 posts

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Draw a joist/post plan and work it out, it's what we'd have to do to work it out.
