Depending on the grade of your
material and the product desired, you should allow an
average waste factor between 30% and 60%. We will
provide an estimated yield average at order placement.
For example, if you have 1,000
board feet in properly cut and graded green-cut lumber.
To make a plank floor, a standard run may yield the

Please note that your actual
yields will vary depending on numerous factors.
The quality of the material supplied has a direct
correlation to your yields, as does specifying a
single or random width product. This example should
be considered a conservative yield average and for
