To build a 12x30 deck using 2x6 boards, you need to determine the total area of the deck and the coverage of each board. The deck area is 360 square feet (12 feet x 30 feet). A 2x6 board typically covers about 5.5 inches in width (actual size), so you can fit approximately 5.5 boards across the width of the deck (12 feet = 144 inches). With 30 feet length, you would need around 33 boards (30 feet / 1 foot per board) to cover the length, resulting in approximately 165 boards total (33 boards x 5). Therefore, you would need around 165 2x6x12 boards, but it's always wise to account for waste and cuts, so purchasing a few extra is recommended.
