Crown is generally referring to the grain of the wood. Look at the end and see how the growth rings are going. You want the crown to be up, the high point of the curve of the rings. Looking down the length of the board it may be bowed one way or the other. This can also be called it's crown.
The reason to do this is that if the board is going to warp or cup, it will do it the way the rings go. If the board is exposed to weather, the edges will curl up and it will hold water. If you put the crown up, the water runs off.

How much lumber will you need to build a 12x20 shed with 8ft walls and 12ft center ceilings?
To calculate the amount of lumber needed for the shed, you first need to determine the perimeter of the shed, which is 2(12+20) = 64 feet. Next, calculate the total wall area by multiplying the perimeter by the wall height: 64ft * 8ft = 512 square feet. To find the amount of lumber needed, divide the total wall area by the area covered by each piece of lumber. If you are using standard 8ft long 2x4 lumber, each piece covers 8sq.ft. Therefore, you will need 512sq.ft / 8sq.ft = 64 pieces of lumber for the walls.
