Lumber Size Chart
Here are guides for 12-foot and 16-foot lumber lengths. These lengths are commonly available at any big box store (eg., Home Depot, Lowes, Menards), and at local hardware stores and lumber yards.
Note: For lumber over 10-feet long we suggest that a staple be installed in the middle of each piece of lumber for stability.
