How many square feet in a 2x6x12 board?
If your talking about how much surface area it will cover, the answer is 5.5 square feet. 5.5 inches wide by 144 inches long=792 square inches. 792 square inches/12 inches per foot/12 inches per foot since your looking for square feet=5.5 square feet Another way to look at it is if you were to cut the 12 foot board down to 1 foot boards, you could double them up side by side and that would equal 11 inches x 12 inches. You would have 6 sets of 11 inches by 12 inches. So for each set you lose one inch in width for a total of 6 inches or a half foot. So you get 6 "square feet" minus the 6 inches total for the sets and end up with 5.5 square feet.

There is no set Height. On porches I would recommend 13" to the bottom of the outlet box from the porch. On the side of the house I would recommend 24" to the bottom of the box above ground level.

Once you've got all things ready and the stage ready, next is the building phase that comes in. Firstly you have to set the place as to where the porch will go. it is also necessary to look for the entry point and the ledger board should be located as it will be the reference point for the deck. Next are the footings to be placed where the steaks are placed with the holes of about 12 inch wide and 4 inch deep. After that, mix the cement with 1 part sand and ad water until it gets firm. The Foundation tubes have to be filled with cement. Place the anchors into cement before it gets dried up. Next, lay the porch boards and attach joist hangers. Next lay the deckings into the frame and space the boards using nail's breadth. Add the railings once the deck is installed. If you like, there are pre-made railings which can be bought from stores. Next is the protection of the porch for which you have to get it done by a water proof paint or wood sealant and paint a few cords on to the porch.
