Lumber God 2x12 SPF No. 1 Dimensional Lumber, Kiln Dried
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
This platform covers the 2x12 section in 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft lengths. SPF stock is easy on crews: light to carry, straight to snap lines against, and consistent stick to stick. Graded No. 1, with tighter knot and grain restrictions than No. 2 for spec driven jobs and spans near the edge of the tables. A nominal 2x12 finishes at an actual 1.5 in. x 11.25 in. after surfacing, and every length in this record shares that section, so takeoffs, plate layouts, and joist schedules carry across the full length run.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual size of a 2x12?
A nominal 2x12 finishes at 1.5 in. x 11.25 in. after surfacing. Every length on this platform shares that actual section.
When should I specify No. 1 over No. 2 SPF?
Choose No. 1 when the plans call for higher bending values, tighter knot restrictions, or spans near the limit of the tables. For general framing, the No. 2 platform is the economical standard.
Can I use it outdoors?
Untreated SPF is intended for interior and protected exterior framing. For ground contact or weather exposed assemblies, use the pressure treated platforms in this catalog.
How is it sold?
