Board Feet vs Lineal Feet
Lumber is priced per lineal foot at retail, but calculated in board feet for estimating. 1 board foot = 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 inch thick. A 2x4 @ 8ft = 5.33 board feet.
- Always add 10–15% waste for cuts
- Buy pressure-treated for any ground contact or exterior use
- Check for warping before purchase — sight down the length
