Lumber God 2x4 Wall Stud, KD-HT Stud Grade
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
Stud grade is a purpose-built structural grade for vertical compression members: straightness rules are tight where it matters and every stick carries an accredited agency stamp. KD-HT drying keeps studs from twisting in the wall after close-in. A nominal 2x4 stud finishes at an actual 1.5 in. x 3.5 in. section, identical across the pre-cut lengths, so plate layout and header math never change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a pre-cut stud 92-5/8 in. instead of 96 in.?
With a single 1.5 in. bottom plate and a double 1.5 in. top plate, a 92-5/8 in. stud produces a finished wall a hair over 97 in., which accommodates 8 ft drywall plus ceiling material without ripping.
What is the actual size?
1.5 in. x 3.5 in., the standard actual section for a nominal 2x4.
Are these the same as No. 2 2x4s?
No. Stud grade is a dedicated grade for vertical members with its own strength and straightness rules. For plates, blocking, and horizontal members, use the No. 2 dimensional platforms.
How is it sold?
