Before designing a new project with dimensional lumber it may be worth the time to check the new span tables to see if the changes will allow less expensive material.Īs examples of the effect of this change, the span for #2 Douglas Fir 2 x 8’s 16” on center floor joists for a living room floor has been increased from 12’-7” to 12’-9”. There are span tables for floor joists, ceiling joists, rafters, headers and beams. Since most of the lumber we use in our area is Douglas Fir this may allow use of narrower boards. The change is due to more current testing data showing the lumber being harvested today is different than that of several years ago. The spans allowed for Douglas Fir lumber have increased while some other species have decreased.
