Linear Feet Calculator
Calculate linear feet for lumber, trim, flooring, and other materials. Convert between linear feet, board feet, and square feet for accurate project planning and material estimation.
Step 1: Material Specifications
10
Standard Material Lengths
Common lumber lengths: 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 16ft. Trim boards: 8ft and 12ft. Remember to account for waste (10-15%) in your calculations.
Step 2: Project Specifications
10%
Measurement Tips
1 linear foot = 12 inches. Board feet = (Thickness(in) × Width(in) × Length(ft)) ÷ 12. Always round up when calculating pieces needed.
