How many 2x8 in a unit?

A standard unit of measurement for lumber is typically a board foot. A 2x8 piece of lumber is 1.5 inches thick and 7.25 inches wide, and when considering a standard length of 8 feet, one board foot equals 144 cubic inches. Therefore, to determine how many 2x8s fit in a unit, you would need to know the total volume of the unit you are referring to.
