Redwood Lumber Sizes
Redwood lumber is referred to in nominal dimensions, such as "2 by 4." Like all other types of lumber, this nominal dimension is actually larger than the true dimensions, which in this case are 1.5 by 3.5 inches. Redwood lumber is common in outdoor applications due to its natural weather- and rot-resistant properties. Redwood lumber is cut to a wide range of sizes, from 1-by-4-inch sticks to 12-by-12-inch timber beams and posts. Does this Spark an idea?
