Understanding Carpentry Measurements

Board Feet

A board foot is a unit of volume for lumber in North America. One board foot equals 1 foot × 1 foot × 1 inch (144 cubic inches). This measurement is essential for purchasing lumber and estimating project costs.

Linear Feet

Linear feet (also called linear footage) is a measurement of length in feet without regard to width or height. This measurement is commonly used for molding, trimwork, and other long, single-dimension materials.

Square Feet

Square footage measures area and is calculated by multiplying length by width (in feet). This measurement is crucial for flooring, wall coverage, and other surface area calculations in carpentry projects.
