Busy Beaver Building Centers sells an extensive supply of dimensional lumber to homeowners and contractors throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Count on our team to help you find the right supplies to support all your DIY projects. 

Understanding Dimensional Lumber Sizing 

Lumber is often given two sizes — nominal and actual measurements. The nominal measurements are the wood's size before it has been dried and surfaced on all sides. The actual size of lumber is the final measurement after drying and surfacing takes place, which you can determine by using a measuring tape. 

You'll likely see the nominal measurement first when looking through your options. For example, dimensional lumber may be given a nominal size of 4 x 6 inches, while its actual size will be less. Lumber usually shrinks as it dries, and surfacing generally takes off about ¼ of an inch as well. After these processes, 4 x 6 nominal dimensions will equate to around 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches.

Common Uses of Dimensional Lumber 

While dimensional lumber is extremely popular around construction sites and manufacturing facilities, it also has many uses around the house. It's a fantastic choice for DIY projects and home repairs, providing the strength, durability and versatility you need to complete every project successfully. Homeowners often buy our dimensional lumber for applications such as the following: 

• Shelves
• Wood panels
• Decks
• Fences
• Furniture
