By using this website, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions.
1. Informational Use Only
CrateCalculator.com provides a calculator and related information intended to help users estimate lumber cut dimensions for building a wooden crate based on the internal dimensions entered.
The results provided by this website are for informational and planning purposes only. They are not construction plans, engineering specifications, professional advice, or a guarantee that a crate will be suitable for a particular item, shipping method, load, or use.
2. Accuracy of Information
The accuracy of any calculation depends on the accuracy of the information entered by the user, including internal length, width, height, lumber dimensions, plywood thickness, and any selected design assumptions.
Actual lumber dimensions, material thickness, saw-kerf, fasteners, construction methods, item weight, weight distribution, handling conditions, and shipping requirements may affect the final cuts and the suitability of the completed crate. Users are responsible for reviewing all measurements and adjusting the design as needed before purchasing materials or making cuts.
3. User Responsibility and Safe Construction
Users are solely responsible for determining whether a crate design is appropriate for their item and intended use. This includes selecting suitable materials, verifying dimensions, ensuring proper assembly, using safe tools and construction practices, and providing adequate internal support, blocking, bracing, and protection.
CrateCalculator.com is not responsible for material waste, incorrect cuts, construction errors, personal injury, property damage, item damage, shipment damage, or any other loss resulting from use of the calculator or information on this website.
4. Shipping and Packaging Requirements
A crate that is adequate for storage or local handling may not be adequate for freight transportation, export, or other commercial shipping. Shipping carriers, freight brokers, insurers, and destination countries may have separate requirements for crate strength, packaging, labeling, heat-treated wood, and documentation.
Users should verify applicable requirements with their carrier, freight broker, packaging professional, or other qualified provider before using a crate for shipping, especially for heavy, fragile, high-value, or international shipments.

CrateCalculator.com does not provide engineering, construction, packaging, freight, transportation, or shipping consulting services.
Use of this website does not create any professional, construction, consulting, shipping, transportation, or contractual relationship between CrateCalculator.com and the user.

While we make reasonable efforts to provide useful calculations and information, we do not guarantee that any calculation, cut list, measurement, design, or other content on the website will always be accurate, complete, or suitable for every project or use.
