What is Deck Slope?

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.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

DS=20×0.25=5inches

The Deck Slope is 5 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

DS=35×0.25=8.75inches

The Deck Slope is 8.75 inches.
