Calculate Lumber Board Feet and Convert Lumber Pricing From Per Thousand bft to Per
Piece
A board foot is a measurement for a piece of lumber 12" wide by 12" long by 1" thick. ( 1' x 1' x 1" )
First we work out the cost per Board Foot
Square and Linear measurements are 2 different things, so how can you convert one to the other?
Square Meters measures area. Linear Meters measures length.
If your material comes in set widths, you can calculate the area a given total length of this material will
cover.
And if you know the total area to cover, you can calculate the length of material at a given width, to fit
the area.
