Question 478935: how many 2x6 pieces of 16-foot lumber will I need to surface a covered porch if the porch measures 16 feet by 14 feet? Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area needed to cover is 16 * 14 = 224 feet.
Each board will cover 16 * .5 or 8 feet,
so 224/8 = 28.
