To calculate the deck slope:
DS=DL×0.25
Where:
The deck slope is the height or drop in inches over the length of the deck. This calculation helps determine the proper slope for drainage and stability of the deck structure.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
DS=20×0.25=5inches
The Deck Slope is 5 inches.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
DS=35×0.25=8.75inches
The Deck Slope is 8.75 inches.
