  • Convert between lineal meters (lm), cubic meters (m³), and square meters (m²) for different timber shapes (e.g., planks, beams, logs).
  • Simplify price calculations by converting between prices per unit volume (e.g., $/m³) and prices per unit length (e.g., $/lm).
  • Minimize waste by estimating the amount of timber needed for your project based on desired dimensions.

Benefits of using this calculator

How to Calculate Timber Requirements:

Once you’ve chosen your timber type, use the calculator and these steps to estimate the amount needed:

  • Measure your project area : Determine the length, width, and thickness of the timber sections you need (e.g., deck area, fence posts).
  • Factor in waste : Add a buffer of 10–15% to account for cutting mistakes and uneven pieces.
  • Use the calculator : Enter the desired dimensions and choose the appropriate conversion.
