Member Weight — Metal Deck Bundle
Pick weight and rigging numbers for a metal deck bundle from unit mass and length.
Deck bundles land ON the frame at planned points — a 1.5 t bundle parked mid-span of an unshored beam is a construction load the EOR never approved. The landing map is part of the erection drawings for a reason.
Formula
Note: Erection-planning estimate only. Member weights, connection capacities and tolerances for execution must come from the issued drawings, the EOR and the erection engineer — never from a generic calculator.

About Member Weight — Metal Deck Bundle
Member Weight — Metal Deck Bundle computes the governing relationship W = kg/m × L × n × (1 + attachments) live as you type. Deck bundles land ON the frame at planned points — a 1.5 t bundle parked mid-span of an unshored beam is a construction load the EOR never approved. The landing map is part of the erection drawings for a reason. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Member Weight — Metal Deck Bundle
