Wood deck plan, to scale

The frame of a deck: footings, beams, joists, boards and stairs.

The plan opens on "Deck", a 4.90 m (16' 1") by 3.70 m (12' 2") rectangle (18.13 m² (195 sq ft)) that you correct to your own measurements. Already in place: deck frame (joists 40 cm on centre), 6 × footing (screw pile or concrete tube), outdoor stairs.

The starting plan, as it opens in the editor.

How to use it

  1. Draw the deck starting from the wall of the house.
  2. Stretch the frame to the size of the deck: the joists reposition themselves every 40 cm (16 in).
  3. Place a footing under each beam, about every 2 m (6 ft).
  4. Add the stairs and the railings, required above 60 cm (24 in).
  5. The area of the deck gives the quantity of boards.
