They are not official sizes for use in any conversion to metric system. Now, for a sheet of plywood, the standard size of a sheet of plywood is 4' × 8'. Before 1895, no standards existed for the grading and sizing of lumber, though two inches had evolved over time as the most common rough thickness for. are merely equivalents, rounded to the nearest whole millimeter. Instead of calling a 2×4 the actual measurements of 1 x 3 inches, the measurement was.
After drying the wood now measures 1 x 3 inches, and no longer has the 2×4 dimensions. The wood is roughly cut to 2×4 inches, but after drying they no longer measure to 2×4 inches. The chart below shows the actual dimensions of lumber when it is dry (when wet, it will be slightly larger). But these sizes are not the actual 1×3 dimensions, 2×4 dimensions, 2×6 dimensions, 2×8 dimensions and 4×4 dimensions of the wood. From general cutting standards in most workshops, the actual sizes are respectively Īctual size of 1 x 2 stick of lumber = ³/₄'' × 3¹/₂''Īctual size of 2 x 4 stick of lumber = 1¹/₂'' × 3¹/₂'' A 2×4 does not actually measure to a 2×4. Most lumber is sold in nominal (in name only) sizes such as 1×3, 2×4, 4×4 and2x2 lumber. Now, in the question, we are dealing with 1x2 stick of lumber and a 2x4 stick of lumber. Here are a couple of typical metal stud sizes as it relates to lip size.
For example, I cant find any equivalents for 2x4- I know its 38mmx89mm, but both stores I looked. Lip sizes are also one of the most important things to know because they determine how the pieces of metal studs will fit together. Here is a neat little list of the actual lumer sizes. Now, Lumber sticks could come in different nominal dimensions such as 1 5/8 inch (41.3 mm) 2 inches (50.8 mm) 2 1/2 inches. 23, alleges in part that Lowes erred by advertising products normally measured in nominal dimensions but whose actual dimensions were not in compliance. There could also be other uses of lumber sticks like making of some basic home furniture's but they are primarily used in building construction. Lumber sticks are sticks made from timber in forms used mainly in building construction as formwork support for the sheets of plywood used. The nominal dimension for a sheet of plywood is 4' x 8' The actual dimensions for the given nominal dimensions 1x2 stick of lumber, a 2x4 stick of lumber are Īctual dimension of 1 x 2 stick of lumber = ³/₄'' × 3¹/₂''Īctual dimension of 2 x 4 stick of lumber = 1¹/₂'' × 3¹/₂''
