Calculation tips: estimate materials

Estimate boards, posts and insulation sheets for fences, decking and more — or continue to a quote.

Short answer: use the rules of thumb and tools below for a quick estimate. Complex projects? Quote or the configurator.

Fence

Rule of thumb: posts about every 1.8 m (including ends). Cost bands: fence costs.

Decking

For boards about 145 mm wide, roughly 6–7 boards per m² (excluding cutting waste). Add 5–10% waste.

Prolock / bankside

Examples: Prolock cost guide. Strength calc on request via Prolock.

Insulation

Our PIR sheets are about 0.60 × 1.20 m (0.72 m² each). Add cutting waste. Guide: PIR thickness · shop: insulation.
