This tool helps you convert board feet to square feet quickly and easily.
Explanation
This calculator converts Board Feet to Square Feet. To use the calculator, provide the length in feet, width in inches, thickness in inches, and the quantity of boards. When you press Calculate, it will display the result in square feet.
How to Use
- Enter the length of the board in feet.
- Enter the width of the board in inches.
- Enter the thickness of the board in inches.
- Enter the quantity of boards.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the result in square feet.
How It Calculates the Result
The calculator first determines the total board feet using the formula:
Board Feet = (Length * Width * Thickness * Quantity) / 144
Then, it converts the board feet to square feet by considering the thickness:
Square Feet = Board Feet * (12 / Thickness)
Limitations
- The calculator assumes all inputs are positive numbers. Negative or zero values will result in an Invalid Input message.
- The thickness must be provided in inches. The conversion assumes 1 foot equals 12 inches in thickness.
