Square feet measure area and linear feet measure length. If a board is one (linear) foot long, that does not tell you how much area it covers, unless you also know the width.
linear feet is exactly what it sounds like... the length of the board, 12 feet. board feet is based on a board 1x12 by I ft, so this would be 6 board feet because it is 1/2 the with for calculating board feet.
i have a 1250 square foot deck and need to figure out how many linear feet of decking material I need. the boards are 6 X 10
The question cannot be answered because the measurement unit used for the width of the board is not given. If the width is 7.5 feet then 96 linear feet will be required, if 7.5 inches, then approx 875 linear feet.
800 feet / 10 foot per board = 80 boards
