## What is TDCA?

With the new Timber Decking and Cladding Association app TDCA, you can easily estimate the kind and quantity of materials you need to purchase to construct a center deck, terrace or docking facility.

You can find the correct type of timber for your construction, select a deck shape and get an estimate of the quantity of deckboard, joists, oil and fixings you require, and e-mail this list of materials to others.

The app also contains photos of constructions to inspire you, and an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section. If you've never before constructed a deck, this app can help you get started, and for professionals, here's an app that gives you a quick estimate on-site.

This app is free and since it's an iPhone app, it can be used on an iPad as well.

### 2/5 — Everything is in metrics

*2025-09-29*

There is no option for feet and inches. There is no menu. It starts you out to choose a basic shape from a list of pre established shapes. You put in your measurements in mm. Then your board sizes in mm. I’m in America and we do feet and inches and I have no patience to convert. To use this application you need to know if you want 2x12” or 2x6” joist or bigger. You’re stuck if you have no idea of codes. 
To be fair, I only used it for fifteen minutes before I got stuck.
