Framify vs DeckSketch 3D

Framify - Deck Framing Calculator

DeckSketch 3D is the most complete tool to design, plan and estimate the cost of your balcony, patio or wood deck. Whether you're a passionate DIYer or a contractor, this app guides you from the first sketch to the job site. DRAW YOUR DECK IN 2D Trace the outline of your deck directly on your screen. Create complex shapes, add multiple levels at different heights and attach the structure to your house. Add elements like a hot tub, round or rectangular pool, stairs, pergolas and guardrails with gates. View the framing in real time with joists, beams and posts. VISUALIZE IN REALISTIC 3D Instantly switch from your 2D drawing to an interactive 3D view. Explore your project from three angles: the finished rendering with colors and materials, the framing structure with posts, beams and joists, and the underside view to check structural integrity. Rotate, zoom and pan the view with smooth touch gestures. CUSTOMIZE EVERY DETAIL Choose from multiple surface materials: pressure-treated wood, natural cedar or composite in 10 trending shades (charcoal grey, walnut, driftwood, mahogany and more). Select the railing style (aluminum, tempered glass, treated wood or composite) and foundation type (sonotubes, pad footings or helical piles). Add a pergola with 5 roofing options: open rafters, polycarbonate, retractable shade, solid roof or metal roofing. SMART STAIR CALCULATOR Simply enter the total height and desired width. The app automatically calculates the number of steps, the rise and run of each step, the stringer length and the number of stringers required. A detailed cut diagram guides you to cut your stringers with precision. Automatic building code compliance check (IRC R311.7).
