Decking design software

[JonnyT]

Hello All,

My decking is several years old, and looking very 'weathered'. It is at a strange angle as it was built to cover over a pond

Any recommendations for some 2D CAD software to figure out how many bits of decking I might need, and the angles to cut etc?

Sadly that's an old photo. Here is an up to date one:

A couple of the strips are starting to warp, and several have signs of starting to rot a little, sadly. I have my suspicions that the condition of the frame isn't great either. Realistically, I'd probably want to get a tradesman in to quote, but seeing as I have a bit of time on my hands at the moment I thought I'd put a rough idea of cost together

If you are going for a standard shape. Rectangle / square then a lot of suppliers have a calculator on the website which will list all components needed.

Unfortunately it's some kind of 'arrowhead' shape; it starts off square enough, but then the concrete edges of the old pond close in
