How to calculate how much decking you need

Creating an inviting outdoor space with floor decking that clicks together is easy when you’ve worked out how much flooring to buy. Check out our simple guide below to find out how much flooring you need.

Calculate the size of your space

To calculate your outdoor area, multiply the length by the width. For example, width 3 m × 5 m = 15 m2. Calculate any areas to be subtracted from the total area, for example pillars or corners.

Calculate how many packages you need

Look for the total area included in each pack of floor decking, and divide that number by your surface area. For example, RUNNEN come in packs that cover 0.81 square meters, divide the sum by 0.81 and round up (to ensure enough floor decking). For example, 14.5 m2 ÷ 0.81 = 17.90. Rounded up, that means you need 18 packages.
