CALCULATING BOARDFOOT OF LUMBER
Is a way to measure the volume of
lumber. One board foot is a unit of
measurement equal to a board that is
1inch thick,12 inches wide, and 1 foot
long. To calculate board feet, you
multiply the length (in feet) by the
width (in inches) by the thickness (in
inches) and then divide by 12
A board foot is actually one
square foot of lumber of one
inch thick
Now, when you are
taking about calculating
board foot of the lumber,
you need to measure its
T = Thickness in inches
W= Width in inches
L = Length in feet
Board foot (Bd. Ft.) = T x W x L
12
Where:
T = Thickness in inches
W= Width in inches
L = Length in feet
Note: This formula is being used for
sawed wood of commercial
dimension.
Example: Calculate the
board foot of lumber
whose dimension is 2” x 4
“x 12’
Steps 1. Identify the given
data
Given. T = 2”
W = 4”
L = 12’
Step 2. Determine what is
being asked
Find the Bd. Ft. =?
Step 3. State the formula
Formula: Bd. Ft. = T x W x L
12
Step 4. Substitute the given
data in the formula, then solve.
Solution:
Bd. Ft. = T x W x L
12
= 2” x 4” x 12’
12
= 96/12
= 8 Bd. Ft
