1500/1000=1.5
8). How many board feet do you need for a wall 20' long with 2x4 studs 8 feet high spaced at
16 o.c.?
Ans: Step 1: convert wall length and stud height into inches, by multiplying length by
12.
wall: 20'x12=240"
stud: 8'x12=96"
step 2: divide wall length by the spacing of the studs
240"/16"= 15 studs + 1 starter= 16 studs total
step 3: figure out board feet
board feet= thickness in inches x width in inches x length in inches / 144.
2"x4"x96"/144=5.33 board feet per stud.
step 4: multiply board feet by number of studs
5.33x16=85.28 board feet.
