What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms measurements from cross ties, which are individual heavy timber pieces used in various applications, into board feet, a standardized lumber volume unit widely used in North America.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the quantity of cross ties you want to convert
- Select cross tie as the input unit and board feet as the output unit
- Click convert to receive the equivalent lumber volume in board feet
Key Features
- Converts wood volume from cross ties to board feet accurately based on standard dimensions
- Supports applications in railroad track construction, landscaping, and reclaimed timber projects
- Browser-based and user-friendly for quick volume conversions in lumber measurement
Examples
- 2 Cross ties = 79.9999999812 Board feet
- 0.5 Cross tie = 19.9999999953 Board feet
Common Use Cases
- Calculating lumber volume for railroad track construction and tie sourcing
- Estimating material for landscaping projects involving heavy garden sleepers
- Measuring reclaimed tie wood for outdoor furniture, fencing, and erosion control
