How many 1x6x12 deck boards to cover 800 sq.ft
Roughly 43-44 boards for the ideal deck. However, it will depend on the shape of the deck, and spaces between supports.
Even if you use a good supplier for your lumber, you might find that many of your deck boards are bowed. This can create gaps and sloppy look for your deck. To straighten out bowed deck boards, simply place the deck board against the others with the bowed side in and nail along the length until it is even with the other boards.
approx 112 boards better get 115 to be sure.
The boards are 2"x6"x 16 ft. Since each board is 0.5 ft wide and 16 ft long, it will cover 8 sq ft. 400/8 = 50, so you will need 50 boards.
It depends on the size of the boards.

To achieve a faultless finish on your new deck, be sure to stagger the joints when you install the deck boards. When nailing the deck boards on to the frame, be sure to leave even spacing between the boards. Most experts recommend 1/8 inch between two inch boards. To avoid measuring over and over, simply place a 16d nail between the boards to keep them in place and insure you have the right measurement.

Multiply width by length to get the area. The answer would be 100 square feet.
