I used blocklayer to space the pickets on a section of our fence that I replaced. Your calculation for banister spacing saved me so much time! I've got another section to replace in the spring and I'll use your calculator again. Spacing Calculator

Finished project in Spokane, WA These were 16" steps with a 7 1/16" rise. The throat is narrow and the run is long so I'll be adding a mid support under the stringers between the cement posts. Stair Calculator

Hi, Thank you so much for the calculator. The calculations were perfect. My project was a set of steps leading to a room above my shop. I lost a big oak tree a few years ago. I slabbed it up and let it dry a couple of years. I cut out the treads and stringers a year ago and just recently assembled the parts in my shop. I think they turned out great. Thanks again!

Thanks for the use of your Masonry Arch Voussoir Calculator!! With the help of your calculator and full scale cutting template I was able to set out all the important components to create this archway.

I was able to play around with different dimensions, designs and angles etc to confirm the look I wanted, then use that to show the bricklayer what we wanted to achieve. Thanks for helping make my dream feature come true!

We were able to make molds to check measure the brick cuts required for the voussoirs. We were able to calculate the correct springing height on the columns. We were able to create the correct radius supports for the arch. We were able to mark out on the arch each course.

I built a curved garden bench using the kerfing calculator to form the internal scaffold and the capping timber. The round table the cat is enjoying also employed kerfing for the supporting structures.

I love you’re web site. I got a load of lumber from a demolition of an old building. I always wanted a small greenhouse, but with the help of your site I tackled a gazebo instead. I had great fun doing this project along with its frustrations. Your site made it so easy? No ! Possible! I am not a contractor. Just an old lady, with some building skills and interest in building things. This was so rewarding to do. Thanks for the help. Gazebo Calculator

This was a small design and build project . Located in Perth Western Australia. I used the hip Rafter plumb and side cuts . Made life a little easier being of steel frame work. Below is a few other Decking jobs I've done.

I used your stair calculator to reverse the the stairway to my basement. The total run was limited by the foundation wall and living space upstairs. Your calculator was invaluable in determining each stringer cut.

Thanks to your excellent calculator we, as first-timers, were able to quickly design a roof, estimate materials, and build within a week. Appreciate your tools and just placed a donation to your linked charity as well! Blue Dragon Children's Foundation Gable Roof Calculator

Hello! I recently discovered your Tapered Stave Calculator, and it was a lifesaver for my Djembe drum project! I used a store-bought wood vase for the top and your calculator for the bottom segment of the drum. It was super simple to figure out the correct dimensions utilizing your tool. Thank you SO much for having this tool and site available! Cheers! - Joel from Florida.

	I built this size 104.5 ft² to keep within 105 ft² which is the maximum outdoor structure size I could build in Calgary AB without a permit. Cutting measurements and angles were perfect. I pre-cut and stained all pieces and then put it together myself without help or assistance. A little tricky - multiple ladders helped. I had 4 steel corner brackets custom made and powder coated. Thank you. Hip Roof Framing Calculator Tim

Hi,Thanks for a great website resource. Hadn’t built anything substantial prior to building this outside office and used the website for all sorts of things during the build. The rafter calculator, the bullnose calculator, the decking calculator the stairs calculator to name a few. Drew up plans once I had that sort of info and away we went. Learnt heaps. Regards - Dave from New Zealand

I constructed a 12 x 16 shed with a hip roof. All of the dimensions were perfect. I used the framing calculator as well as the hip roof calculator from the Blocklayer.com website. All of the dimensions were exact. The Blocklayer.com calculators saved me quite a bit of time. It was a tremendous help. Thank You Very Much!!

Hi, I’ve been building this gazebo in my spare time after work and at weekends. Literally couldn’t have done it without your calculator. (I’m a driver in the RAF, definitely not a joiner!) Just got to add the jacks, sheet it and tile it now.

Thank you for the use of the baluster calculator. It saved me so much frustration and time. Tim.

After having Solar installed last fall it was very apparent that a "liability eliminator" was needed. Nothing was mentioned that when the wet heavy snow releases without any warning and ends up 2 plus feet deep in front of the door on the entry way its not a good situation. This summer it was necessary to resolve this issue.

Using Blocklayer.com made the initial design very simple, as the project progressed it was very simple to make the final adjustments without the need to do long hand math!

This saved me a bunch of time. Gambrel Roof Framing Calculator

Hi, this is Jerry from West Palm Beach, Florida. Many years ago, we worked together on adding the curved radius molding segment calculator

Some things we make are not always segmented together, but glued up in thin layers and then ran through the molder to add the profiles. The calculator always makes the jobs easier, though. Thanks!

Thanks for your wonderful website, gazebo built in Llannerchymedd School on Anglesey Wales. The children absolutely love it 😊 Thanks / Diolch󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I found your stair calculator incredibly useful. My wife and I designed and built a set of stairs for my parents, as their existing stairs were not up to code, and had been badly built. In any event, this was our first set of stairs that we’ve ever built and it’s no easy task for a first timer. I found it so useful to be able to tinker around with potential ideal rises and runs, tread thickness, riser, thicknesses, and nosings and see how it would impact our final product. The end result was honestly fantastic. The stairs are about 1 million times more sturdy than the pre-existing ones and my parents are so incredibly impressed and grateful. I’ve attached some pictures of the project and the final result! Thank you!

I constructed my gazebo with the use of the Blocklayer.com gazebo online plans. It worked out perfectly.
