Lumber Dimensions. 2x4s are not actually 2 inches by 4 inches. When the board is first rough sawn from the log, it is a true 2x4, but the drying process and planing of the board reduce it to the finished 1.5x3.5 size. Here are the common sizes of lumber, and their actual sizes.
A 2x6 bought by a consumer at a lumber yard is actually only 1 1/2 or 1.5 thick and 5 1/2 or 5.5 wide. A 1 foot (12) length of 2x6 is (5.5 x 12) 66 square inches.64 square feet is equivalent to (64 x 12 x 12) 9,216 square inches. So it takes (9,216/66) 139.64 feet of 2 x 6 to cover 64 square feet. Ten 2x6's 14 feet long will cover almost exactly 64 square feet. 2x6 bought by a consumer at a lumber yard is actually only 1 1/2 or 1.5 thick and 5 1/2 or 5.5 wide.
