A clear takeoff before the timber yard

Plan the boards.
See the assumptions.

Turn one rectangular deck into a simple board takeoff. Set the direction, face width and stock length, then see exactly how the whole-board count was built.

Your rectangle

01 / measurements

All lengths in millimetres. Board run follows the direction the boards travel; cross width is perpendicular to them.

One stock board per segment. Offcuts are not reused, and the last row is ripped to width. Read the complete method.

02 / the plan

01

One rectangle, one direction

Measure the board run and the cross width independently. Rotate the plan by swapping the two dimensions.

02

Whole stock, clear allowance

Every segment gets its own stock board. Extra stock is rounded upward after the base count.

03

A takeoff you can trace

Keep the row width, gap, final strip and segment assumptions with the result.
