The item

Home Depot 8 ft 2x4 Lumber Studs

Model 1020

A standard stud is an 8 foot, 96 inch length at an actual 1.5 by 3.5 inches, about 8 to 13 pounds each by species. The length is the fit problem, not the weight: a 96 inch board is longer than most SUV cargo areas and short truck beds, so it rides angled through to the front seats or on a lowered tailgate. A bundle stacks easily once the length fits.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Will 8 ft 2x4s fit in an SUV?

    Only angled in most SUVs. A 96 inch board is longer than the roughly 72 to 84 inch seats-down cargo area, so it runs on the diagonal from the cargo floor toward the front passenger footwell with the seat moved forward.

    01
  2. Can I carry 8 ft lumber in a truck with the tailgate up?

    Only in a full 8 foot bed, about 98 inches. Short and standard beds are shorter than 96 inches, so drop the tailgate, rest the boards on it, and strap them.

    02
  3. How much does an 8 ft 2x4 weigh?

    About 8 to 9 pounds for spruce-pine-fir and about 11 to 13 pounds for Southern Yellow Pine, so a bundle adds up quickly even though each board is light.

    03
  4. Are these measurements exact?

    A nominal 2x4 is an actual 1.5 by 3.5 inches, and an 8 foot stud is 96 inches long. Weight varies by species and moisture. Use the live checker for your exact vehicle.
