Why is a 2x4 Not 2"x4"?

Writer's picture: Matt WeberMatt Weber


For newbie carpenters and DIY'ers, one of the more confusing aspects of working with lumber is the fact that a 2x4 board is strictly a nominal term and doesn't reflect the actual dimensions of the board.


Let's face it ... why wouldn't this confuse somebody?


Our friends at Prowood Lumber explain it like this: "The nominal measurements are a board's size before it has been planed smooth (surfaced) on all 4 sides. The actual measurements are the final size. If your project calls for precise measurements, be sure to check your lumber before purchasing."

*Note that lumberyards which sell boards in actual "true" dimensions will have the material specifically marked as such to avoid confusion with the more common nominal dimensions.
