What to check
This calculation uses: Number of pieces, Length, Board width, Board thickness. It returns: Total length, Lumber volume.
List every wall or repeated timber size separately. Do not combine pieces with different lengths or cross sections.
Use nominal and actual timber dimensions consistently. Preservative treatment, moisture content and grading can affect what can be ordered.
Use the units beside each field. The values in the worked example are starting inputs; replace them with your measurements and the specifications of your material.
