These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of backyardcalc.com (the “Site”), operated by BackyardCalc (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Estimates are for guidance only
BackyardCalc provides free calculators and informational guides to help you estimate the quantity and approximate cost of materials for home and outdoor projects. All results are estimates only. Actual material needs and costs vary based on site conditions, waste, measurement accuracy, product specifications, regional pricing, supplier rounding, and many other factors outside our control.
Always confirm quantities and costs with a qualified professional, supplier, or contractor before purchasing materials or beginning a project. We are not liable for over- or under-ordering, project outcomes, or any decisions made based on calculator results. Use of the Site does not create a professional, contractor, or advisory relationship.

- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation.
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its systems.

Intellectual property
The content on this Site — including text, calculator logic, guides, design, and graphics — is owned by BackyardCalc or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may use the calculators and reference the information for your personal, non-commercial project planning.

Affiliate disclosure
BackyardCalc is supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Some links on the Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click them and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. This never changes the estimate a calculator gives you, and we only recommend products relevant to the project you’re planning. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising cookies are handled.

Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BackyardCalc and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, materials, or data, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or reliance on any estimate or information provided.
