- Calculate the surface area for your decking Multiply the length (L) of your decking area by the width (W): L x W = Decking Surface Area (DSA) in m2 10 x 6 = 60m2
- Work out the coverage of your deck boards Add your deck board width (DBW) to the expansion gap length (EGL), then add the deck board length (DBL) to the expansion gap width (EGW). Then multiply these numbers. (DBW + EGL) x (DBL + EGW) = Single Board Coverage (SBC) 0.144m + 0.005m = 0.149m 2.4m + 0.003m = 2.403m 0.149 x 2.403 = 0.358m2
- Calculate the number of deck boards you need Multiply the SBC by 1.1 to allow for 10% wastage. Then, divide the DSA by the SBC. DSA / SCB x 1.1 = Total number of boards required 60m2 / 0.358m2 x 1.1 = 184.36 boards – so round up to 185 so you’re not left short.
Trimdon Station
Trimdon (population 2,958) is a town in County Durham, in England (earlier Tremeldon (1196) or Tremedon (1262 )). It is 9 miles west of Hartlepool, as well as adjacent to Trimdon Colliery, Trimdon Grange as well as Deaf Hill (additionally known as Trimdon Station). In your area, to distinguish it from these it is known as Trimdon Village or merely "The Town". The main focal point of "The Village" is Saint Mary Magdalene church, which was built throughout the Norman period (roughly 1145AD). Trimdon Labour Club (currently shut) was the setting for some of the former prime minister and constituency MP, Tony Blair's constituency speeches. Blair's neighborhood residence remained in nearby Trimdon Colliery.
