Timber Weight Calculator
Timber weight is a volume and density problem. Use the working lumber weight calculator for posts, beams, planks and repeated boards when moving, shipping or storing wood stock.
Timber volume
Enter actual thickness, width, length and quantity for the timber member or repeated board size.
volume = thickness * width * length * quantity
Density choice
Use the closest species preset for early handling estimates or custom density for measured, treated or engineered stock.
Use limits
This is a weight estimate for handling and logistics. Structural design still needs spans, loads, grades, connections and adopted code checks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for posts and beams?
Yes. Enter the actual member thickness, width, length and quantity, then choose a density.
Does it size a structural timber?
No. It estimates weight only; structural timber sizing needs load and span checks.
