What is a Deck Load Calculator?

A deck load calculator is a tool used to estimate the maximum load a deck can support based on material properties, deck dimensions, and loading conditions.

Why Use a Deck Load Calculator?

Deck load calculators are essential for builders and homeowners to ensure that decks are designed to safely support the anticipated loads, including furniture, people, and other items.

How to Use a Deck Load Calculator:

1. Select the material of the deck (e.g., wood, composite).
2. Input the dimensions of the deck in square feet.
3. Specify the live load on the deck in pounds per square foot.
4. Click the "Calculate" button to perform the calculation.
5. The calculator provides the estimated maximum load the deck can support in pounds.

Example Calculation:

Suppose you have a wood deck with dimensions of 400 square feet and a live load of 100 pounds per square foot.

The calculator provides the estimated maximum load is 60000.00 pounds .

Adjust the inputs and calculation formulas based on specific requirements for accurate results.
