Default How to figure deck boards

Then you're going to have some overage...

Basically, you may as well figure it's 20' 'cause there's no multiple of
commonly available stock that's going to save you much.

If you're really concerned about wastage, the effort to shorten the span
by the 6" would be the way to go.

I fiddled around a little and didn't come up w/ any combinations of LCDs
that help...unless I overlooked one.
