If not otherwise indicated all sizes are nominal. So we list every item in the actual size and the nominal size. We have considered not using Nominal Dimensions, however, we decided it would be more confusing for professionals than it would be helpful for novice consumers. As a consumer, it is important to understand the difference. There were some lawsuits against Home Depot and Menards in 2017 that resulted in the Nominal size use being upheld as an industry standard. Actual sizes can vary depending on where the wood is stored and installed due to the expansion and contraction of natural wood. It also addresses the shrinkage and expansion of the boards that is caused by less or more humidity. Simply instead of having to say “let me get three-quarters by three and one-half inches” you can simply say “one by four”. Nominal sizes are simplified ways to reference not actual sizes. For anyone not in the lumber and construction industry, this can be confusing. However, the actual thickness and width of a 2-by-4 is 1.5-by-3.5 inches.The entire wood industry uses what is known as nominal sizes. The actual length of an 8 foot 2-by-4 is 8 feet. What is the actual length of an 8 foot 2×4? These sizes do not include the length of the board. Lumber sizes like 2-by-4, 4-by-6 or 6-by-8 represent the thickness in inches by the width in inches of the timber. Calculate linear feet by simply measuring the length of the board. You can find the board foot measurement by multiplying length x width x thickness in inches, and then dividing by 144. Timber is measured in board feet and linear feet. Can be refinished if scratched or damaged. Does well with varying humidity and weather. Brazilian Walnut: Much more expensive than oak.Maple: Slightly harder than oak and lighter in color.Graining often helps hide scratches and dents.

When the lumberyard gives you the price, multiply it by the linear feet you want, and you’ll find your decking price.
Then, call a lumberyard and ask the price per foot on that size and species of lumber, such as 2-by-6 construction heart redwood. For many homeowner projects, linear feet are the easiest way to calculate your needs.įor instance, if building a deck out of 2-by-6 lumber, you would use your plans to first measure the total length of decking boards you need. If ordering a large amount by board feet, just multiply the total board feet needed by the price per board foot for the total cost.Ī linear foot describes a 12-inch long piece of lumber. You can measure board feet by multiplying length x width x thickness in inches, and then dividing by 144. How to Use Board Feet:Ī single board foot is one square foot of wood that is one inch thick.
