What is a Board Foot?
A board foot is the standard unit for measuring lumber. It equals 144 cubic inches (1" × 12" × 12" or equivalent).
BF = (T × W × L) ÷ 12
T & W in inches, L in feet
Nominal vs Actual Size
Lumber is sold by nominal (name) size but actual dimensions are smaller due to drying and planing:
💡 Buying Tips
- • Add 10-15% for waste and mistakes
- • Check for warping and knots before buying
- • Let lumber acclimate before use
- • Compare prices: linear ft vs board ft
Note: Prices vary significantly by region, supplier, and lumber grade. Always get local quotes for accurate pricing.
