Check Square Calculator

Using the check square calculator will aid in ensuring construction works are square, level, stable and built in a manner that distributes the load and stress are correctly distributed.

In all construction projects ensuring that building works are constructed square is critical to maintain the structural integrity. Using the check square calculator will aid in ensuring construction works are square, level, stable and built in a manner that distributes the load and stress are correctly distributed. This should minimise the potential of warping, splitting and other damage over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to check a deck is square?

    Chippy Tools makes it quick and simple to confirm if a deck is built square. Simply enter your length value and width value and Chippy Tools will calculate the expected diagonal value. Measure the diagonal of your deck as built and if that value matches the value from Chippy Tools the deck is square. If it doesn't match your deck as constructed is not square.

  • How to check a room is square?

    Chippy Tools makes it quick and simple to confirm if a room is built square. Enter the length and width and Chippy Tools will calculate the expected diagonal value. Measure the diagonal of your room as built and if that value matches the value from Chippy Tools the room is square. If it doesn't match your room as constructed is not square.

  • How to check if a house is built square?

    Checking if a house is square is a simple check to assess the quality of any building works and a basic lease of the structural integrity of any building works. To check if any work is square simply use Chippy Tools Check Square calculator.

  • How to calculate the Diagonal of a Square?

    There are multiple different ways to calculate the diagonal of a square. The simplest and easiest way to calculate the diagonal of a square is to use Chippy Tools by simply ending the side length. If using the calculation to check if a constructed structure is square it is recommended that the length and the width are independently measured to provide the expected diagonal measurement.


    Chippy Tools makes the calculation quick and simple hiding the complexity of Pythagoras's theorem that is uses is the background.

  • Formula to calculate the diagonal of a square?

    There are multiple different ways to calculate the diagonal length of a square. Assuming the square is exactly square with right angle corners, it is possible to use Pythagoras's theorem, where the diagonal is the hypotenuse. Alternatively, the diagonal can be calculated using the side length multiplied by the square root of two, assuming the side lengths are indeed equal.


    Not sure which approach to take or always forget the correct calculation? Chippy Tools has your back, simplifying the calculation for you. Simply enter the required measurements and the app will do the rest.

  • Formula to calculate the diagonal of a rectangle?

    A rectangle is comprised of two right angle triangles with their diagonals or hypotenuses touching. Given the presence of a diagonal length it is possible to calculate the diagonal length using Pythagoras's theorem, which will also allow the angles to be calculated.


    Always forget the correct calculation? Chippy Tools has your back, simplifying the calculation for you. Simply enter the required measurements and the app will do the rest.

  • Does Chippy Tools check square Calculator work with metric measurements?

    Chippy Tools was built in Australia where the metric system is the only measurements. All Chippy Tools calculators accept metric measurements in millimetres, centimetres, or meters, simply ensure all measurements are in the same measurement units.

  • Does Chippy Tools check square calculator work with imperial measurements?

    All Chippy Tools calculations work with feet, inches or feet and inches. When using imperial measurements, you are required to enter the unit of measure in the number. Chippy Tools makes this easy by providing an additional row on top of the keyboard with these required units.
