construction lumber

Framing material supply

Construction lumber is wood that has been cut and processed for use in building structures.

It includes dimensional lumber (2x4s, 2x6s, and similar standardized sizes), beams, joists, and studs used for framing walls, floors, and roofs.

Construction lumber is graded for strength and typically sold at lumberyards and home improvement stores: We need to pick up construction lumber for the deck project.
