how much lumber would i need to build a 12x20x8 shed
You need more information to answer this question. A few of the items needed would be the height of the room as well as specifications on the framing (ie. 16" center verses 24" center). Does this addition need a roof? If so what type of roof do you want? Do you considers the decking on the roof part of the lumber? Are there windows? Those will need to be framed out. How many doorways. Etc... As you can see there are so many variables it would be impossible to say based on your question. The ceiling will be 8 foot, The centers will be 16" it does need a roof dont include the decking no windows
9 if the studs are on 16" center and 7 if on 24"
Sorry this answer is IMPOSSIBLE to answer. Also, wrong category. It could be anything from $0 (if you build it on your parents land or your own land and you already have everything you need to build it) to more money than you can afford if you need to buy the land first and want to build the building out of diamonds. To answer this question you really need a LOT more information. 1) Do you own the land you want to build on? 2) Will you build it or will you hire others? 3) Do you need a building permit - that costs money 4) What materials will you use? Wood? Steel? Glass? Gold? (hehe) 5) What will be inside the building? Do you need pipes, electrical stuff? 6) Do you want to insure it against fire, theft, etc (Need insurance?)
Most do-it-yourselfers at some point in time have to figure out how much board feet of lumber they will need for a given project. Figuring out board feet of lumber can be confusing for someone who has never had to do it before, or at least not very often. Here is an explanation on how to calculate how many board feet of lumber in a few short steps. Step 1: Gather together a calculator, a pen and some paper. You will need these for the math. Step 2: You will need to know that a board foot is a piece of wood one inch thick, one foot long and one foot wide, and that lumber is calculated by its rough size. This means a 2 x 4 is actually 1 ½ inches thick. Step 3: Learn the formula (Thickness x Width x Length) / 144, so you can calculate your board feet. Any lumber can be calculated by using this simple formula. Step 4: Remember to allow for waste when calculating how many board feet you will need. The higher the grade of lumber you buy, the less waste you will have. With the high grade lumber, a rough estimate of waste should be around 15% while the lower grade estimate about 30% waste. If you are able to calculate board feet, it will help you when ordering or buying wood for any do-it-yourself project and for checking on contractors estimated amounts. You should always be able to know what you are paying for any amount of building material. This simple formula will be able to help you.

If you are planning to build a wood deck for your house and do not want to worry about measuring and cutting lumber, consider plans to build a 16 foot by 16 foot deck. To build this simple square shape, the majority of the lumber you will need will be in the form of 8 foot planks. If you do not have a saw, have the lumber center cut the boards into the lengths you need. Then simply lay out two rows of 8 foot lengths so they measure 16 feet both vertically and horizontally.
you need to buy it from the lumber yard.
