i don't know, he is probably going to need nails too, and they didn't tell me how much those cost.

anonymous · Answer

the area of the square deck is 18x14 = 252 so now just multiply 252 by the price and get:

$982.80

but that doesn't include a railing, or stairs, or deck sealant. he really should be looking at the whole picture
