This Website and some of its content contain links to other resources on the internet related to lumberyards, building-material suppliers, building codes, IRC publications, and lumber grading standards. These links are provided as aids to help you find other useful resources, and are not intended to imply that the Company sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with those sites, or that it authorizes the use of any trade names, trademarks, logos, or seals that may appear in them. Framing calculations on our Website may be affected by input accuracy, nominal-vs-actual lumber dimensions (e.g. a 2x4 measuring 1.5″ × 3.5″), and local code amendments. If you find information or a calculation you believe is incorrect, please contact us with specific details and we will investigate and update it to the extent the IRC, lumber grading rules, span tables, and our other sources allow.
