Planning Your Purchase

Most used lumber comes in random lengths and widths. Measure your project carefully and buy 10-15% extra to account for waste from cuts and defects.

Example: For a 12-foot fence, buy 14 feet of boards to allow for trimming damaged ends.

This approach saves money while giving your project character that new lumber can't match.
