Meters are linear, square and cubic. Starting a large construction site or even a small repair, you should clearly navigate in these terms. The ability to correctly translate the amount of certain materials into linear or cubic meters will serve as an excellent service in preliminary calculations of the cost of a planned repair or construction. For example, clearly understanding how many square meters are in one roll of wallpaper, you can quickly calculate their number required for pasting a room or an entire apartment.
Calculations can be done in cubic meters, square or running meters
If the upcoming repair or construction is related to the use of wooden materials, it is necessary to thoroughly study the recalculations from linear meters to cubic meters, since prices can be presented on the market both per unit of material and per cubic meter. The number of timber in the cube varies and depends on its cross section. The easiest way to find out how many boards are in a cube is a table, but if it is not nearby, you will have to remember the formulas.
What is a cubic meter
A cubic meter (abbreviated m³) is a unit of volume and is equal to the volume of a cube with an edge length of 1 meter. In accordance with GOST 8486-86, wooden materials must have measurable cross-sectional dimensions and lengths, so that you can easily calculate the number of boards included in the cube of the material.
To determine the dimensions of the section, it is necessary to retreat from the end of the beam at a distance of at least 10 cm and measure the width and height of the beam. Multiplying these values by each other, you get the cross-sectional area of \u200b\u200bthe beam, multiplying which by the length you get the volume of one beam. By calculating the number of bars in one cubic meter, you can easily navigate between the cost of one beam and one cube of beams.
A cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with an edge side of 1 m
Calculation of lumber for construction before buying them
Of course, the easiest way is to come to the developer to explain what you want to see in the final version and agree to the proposed project. But, if you independently understand the calculations of the required amount of lumber, then even at the stage of discussing the cost of materials and work on building a house, you can find out how real prices are offered by a construction company.
Many developers calculate the required amount of material in cubes, some consider it piece by piece, taking as standard the running length dimensions - 6 or 12 m. A clear understanding, for example, how much timber is in a cube of 150x150x6000, will protect against overpayments.
Standard timber 0.15x0.015x6 meters
The procedure for calculating the amount of timber in a cube
Despite the same principle of carrying out calculations, there are certain nuances in determining the cubic capacity and the amount of various lumber.
1. Basic formulas for calculating the number of bars in a cube
To determine how many boards in a cube, with bars of a certain section, you need to know three measured parameters: length, width and height. First you need to calculate the volume of one bar using the formula V = a * b * l (here V is the volume, m³; a is the height, m; b is the width, m; l is the length, m)
Beam parameters: length, width, height
How many pieces of timber in a cube is determined by the formula:
Where, A - the number of timber in a cube, pieces;
1 - one cubic meter, m³;
V is the volume of one bar, m³.
2. How to determine how many pieces are in a cube of timber 100x150
In the price lists of construction companies, for convenience, they indicate the cross section of the beam, that is, its width and height, for example, 100x150. Where 100 is the width in millimeters and 150 is the height. The length is most often 6 meters, or 6000 mm.
The volume of a bar 100x150x6000 will be 0.09 m³.
V = 0.1 m * 0.15 m * 6 m = 0.09 m³. Here 0.1 is the width, m; 0.15 – height, m; 6 - beam length, m.
In this case, how much material will “fit” in one cubic meter can be found by dividing the cubic meter by the volume of one bar:
Where, 1 is one cubic meter, m³;
0.09 - calculated volume of one bar 100x150x6000, m³.
The characteristic shape of the beam section 100x150
So you can easily calculate how many pieces of timber in the purchased volume of material by multiplying the number of pieces by the number of cubes. For simplicity and speed of calculation, you can use the table: how many timber in a cube table is 6 meters.
3. How many edged boards in 1 cube
A similar situation is in calculating the amount of edged boards in 1 cubic meter of wood. For example, the board used has the following parameters 100x25x6000 (width, height, length).
The volume of one board will be 0.015 m³.
V = 0.1 m * 0.025 m * 6 m = 0.015 m³
Quantity in 1 cube:
That is, a cubic meter contains at least 66 boards. When buying a cube of edged boards 100x25x6000, you should get 67 pieces, rounding up. For example, when buying three cubes, you should get at least 201 pieces, and when buying six - 401.
4. How many in 1 cube of grooved floor board
The sheet pile floor for better installation has a groove along the entire length on one side, on the other - a spike. When calculating the volume of one board, its length, height and net width are taken into account, that is, the width without taking into account the protruding spike. For example, the size of the board shown in the figure below is 28x90 mm.
Grooved floor board
With a board length of 6 meters, its volume will be:
V = 0.09 m * 0.028 m * 6 m = 0.01512 m³
Quantity in 1 cube:
5. How many wooden lining in 1 cube
By design, the lining remotely resembles a sheet pile floor. It also has a groove-thorn connection, ventilation grooves, but the front side of the lining can have bevels, roundings and even a convex surface, imitating a beam.
For the calculation, the “net” width is used, that is, the size without taking into account the spike, the maximum value in the section of the board is taken as the height.
Types of lining with a good example of measuring the width and height of the board
The most common lining size is 100x14. With a board length of 6 meters, the number of lining in one cube will be at least 119 pieces:
The volume of one board:
V = 0.1 m * 0.014 m * 6 m = 0.0084 m³
Quantity in 1 cube:

What else to consider when counting lumber
One of the nuances in the production of lumber is their technological length, that is, the declared six-meter board in practice turns out to be 5-10 cm longer. This deviation is called technological and is not taken into account when calculating the linear meters of the board. The seller in no case has the right to add them to the total length of the board.
When buying a beam of a certain section, it is important to measure the parameters during acceptance or loading, since the slightest deviation of even 1 cm leads to huge losses, especially with large purchase volumes.
In addition to volume, it is important to remember the weight of the purchased material, which depends on the density of the material and humidity.
An example of calculating the weight of a beam based on the known density of a tree (for material of different moisture content, the corresponding values \u200b\u200bmust be substituted instead of 860)
Tables for quick calculation of the volume of timber
Below are cheat sheets to quickly find out how much timber is in a cube - the table contains not only the quantitative values of material units in a cubic meter, but also the volumetric values \u200b\u200bof bars of different sections. For example, a table will show how many boards are in a cube - a board or a bar will be 6 meters or 3 meters long.

Features of lumber storage
For building a wooden house, it is important to properly store the material so that its moisture content is within 12%, if the humidity is higher, then the shrinkage of the building will be slower.
Here are a few rules to remember when storing lumber:
The storage area must be level and dry.
To prevent the ingress of moisture from the surface to the site, pallets are laid under the first layer of material, which can be replaced with scraps of boards or sleepers.
The distance between single products should be maintained within at least 2 cm, for better air circulation.
After 1-2 rows, crossbars are placed across the length, which can be all the same trimmings of boards.
If it is not possible to build a canopy over the storage area to prevent atmospheric precipitation, the stacks are covered with a film, excluding wrapping the ends, so as not to create a greenhouse effect inside.

Conclusion
Knowing the rules for calculating the required volume of building materials will help save time and money, or simply make sure the builder is honest. Therefore, if you do not have the skills to quickly translate one value into another, then when discussing the required amount of building materials, you must keep at least a cheat sheet in the form of a cubic table.
Good day! We bring to your attention an article that should definitely help you in determining how many cubes of a board for building, for example, a wooden bath, you need to order. In the article, we will give a not easy final result for boards of a certain size, but we will also tell you what percentage of your overpayment from one cube of such a board, we will show an example of independently calculating the number of boards in a cube.
What is a cube and volume
Let's start with the fact that the boards are measured in cubic meters (abbr. cube). Cubic meter is the product of three quantities: the first of them is the length, the second is the width, the third is the height. In the case of a figure such as "cube", the value of "volume" will be equal to the length of the edge to the power of "3". Another definition of a cubic meter:
“Cubic meter (m³, cubic meter) is a unit of volume; equal to the volume of a cube with an edge length of 1 meter"
How to find the volume of a cube is shown in the video below (video in English):
Let's get back to your future boards, namely their size. The size of the board is indicated as follows: 25x150x6000. The first number is the height (thickness), the second number is the width, the third number is the length. The length of the board is usually either 4 meters or 6 meters.
Important! In fact, the length of the board will be greater than its nominal size. For example, a board 4 meters long actually has 4.1 or even 4.2 meters, and a board 6 meters long will have up to 6.25. As for the first two values, width and thickness (height), they must exactly match the specified parameter.
Calculation example for a board 25x150x6000
Consider the above board with a size of 25x150x6000. Dimensions here are in mm, but to determine the cubature, you need a different unit of measurement - meter. Let's translate mm into meters and get a board of 0.025x0.15x6.0. Let's apply the volume formula V= L* h* b, where L- length, h- height, b- width. L=6.0; h=0.025; b=0.15. Thus, 6.0 * 0.025 * 0.15 \u003d 0.0225 cubic meters. What does this mean? And this means one thing: if you know the price for 1 cubic meter of such a board, then freely determine the price of one board. Let's say if the price of a cubic meter is 100 rubles, then for one board you will have to pay 100 * 0.0225 = 2.25 rubles.
Attention! Often, the sellers of boards, one might say, "weld" on their customers, rounding the value of the volume of the boards. For example, instead of 0.025 cubic meters, a size of 0.023 is indicated. Of course, this is an insignificant deviation if you buy less than 1 cubic meter of boards worth 100 rubles, but when a cubic meter costs, for example, 300 rubles, and you need 10 cubic meters, then the overpayment will be significant.
That is why you should learn to independently determine the cubic capacity of the board. So, we managed to determine the volume of one board. But how to determine how many unedged boards are included in 1 cubic meter with dimensions of 25x150x6000. And to make it even easier, using the formula:
1 cubic meter / (L*h*b) = N pieces.
We substitute the available data and get the number of boards 25x150x6000 in 1 cubic meter:
1 / (6.0 * 0.025 * 0.15) \u003d 1 / 0.0225 \u003d 44.4 pcs.
Important! When ordering one cubic meter 25x150x6000, in fact, you take 44 boards, and you simply overpay for 0.4. Thus, 1% of the cost of a cubic meter is your overpayment.
Calculation of the volume and number of boards for different sizes
Below, together with you, we will determine the volume of one board and the number of boards for different sizes.
25x150x4000 (length - 4000, height - 25, width -150)

40x150x4000 (length - 4000, height - 40, width - 150)
Let's determine the volume of one such board: 4 * 0.04 * 0.15 \u003d 0.024 cubic meters. meters.
And the number of boards will be calculated as follows: 1 / 0.024 \u003d 41.6 pieces. Actually - 41 boards.
20x100x6000 (length - 6000, height - 20, width - 100)
Let's start by determining the volume of one such board, 20x100x6000 in size. 6*0.02*0.1=0.012.
The number of boards in 1 cubic meter: 1 / 0.012 = 83.3 pieces. We get 83 boards.
25x100x6000 (length - 6000, height - 25, width - 100)
We calculate the volume of one board using the formula: 6 * 0.025 * 0.1 \u003d 0.015 cubic meters. meters.
If you were careful, then a board measuring 25x150x4000 has exactly the same volume, and based on this we can immediately calculate the number of boards in 1 cubic meter: 66 pieces.
40x100x6000 (length - 6000, height - 40, width - 100)
We calculate the volume of one board 40x100x6000. We substitute the parameters into the formula and we have: 6 * 0.04 * 0.1 \u003d 0.024 cu. meters.

Now we determine the number of boards 50x100x6000 in a cubic meter: 1 / 0.03 = 33.3. As a result, 1 cubic meter of board 50x100x6000 contains 33 pieces.
25x150x6000 (length - 6000, height - 25, width - 150)
Let's determine the volume of one such board: 6 * 0.025 * 0.15 \u003d 0.0225 cubic meters. meters.
And the number of boards will be calculated as follows: 1 / 0.0225 = 44.4 pcs. Actually - 44 board.
30x150x6000 (length - 6000, height - 30, width - 150)
Let's start by determining the volume of one such board, 30x150x6000 in size. 6*0.03*0.15=0.027.
The number of boards in 1 cubic meter: 1 / 0.027 = 37.04 pieces. We get 37 boards. Perhaps, it is for a cubic meter of such a board that you will have to overpay the smallest percentage.
40x150x6000 (length - 6000, height - 40, width - 150)
We calculate the volume of one board using the formula: 6 * 0.04 * 0.15 \u003d 0.036 cubic meters. meters.
So how many boards 40x150x6000 in 1 cubic meter? It equals 1 / 0.036 = 27.8 cubic meters. meters. Attention! As you can see, if you round the number of such boards down, then you will overpay decent money, almost 3%!
50x150x6000 (length - 6000, height - 50, width - 150)
We calculate the volume of one board 50x150x6000. We substitute the parameters into the formula and we have: 6 * 0.05 * 0.15 \u003d 0.045 cu. meters.

The last size that we will consider in this article. We calculate the volume of one such board: 6 * 0.05 * 0.2 \u003d 0.06 cubic meters. meters. The number of such boards in 1 cubic meter will be equal to 1 / 0.06 = 16.7, which means a large overpayment when rounded towards 16 pieces!
In order for you not to get confused, below is a table with the results obtained:
Board size, mm | Volume 1 board, cube meters | The number of boards in 1 cubic meter, PCS | Amount of overpayment when rounding down, % with rounding |
|---|---|---|---|
When preparing for the construction of a wooden building, house or structure, it would be wiser to first find out the total amount of material needed to complete the construction of the object. And when a bar is used in the process, then its quantity can be found using special tables with calculations. Or, for this, you can use the calculations carried out by independent forces.

Mathematical model for counting the number of bars in a cube
The main way to calculate the number of bars in a cube of wood is in a simple formula, for this you need to multiply the area of \u200b\u200bthe rectangular diameter of the bar by its length, and the diameter itself is calculated by multiplying the height by the width.
To accurately determine the amount of a bar in a cubic meter of wood, depending on its cross section and length, it is necessary to make calculations:
For example, for the construction of an object, 100 linear meters of a bar of grade 40 by 50 mm, which has a length of 3 meters, are required. To do this, you first need to know the area 
diameter: 0.04 m * 0.05 m = 0.002 sq. m., it leaves 0.002 sq. m. Next, you need to multiply this area by the length of the bar: 0.002 * 3 \u003d 0.006 cubic meters. m. - this is the volume of one bar with a diameter of 40 by 50 mm. Then we divide 1 cubic meter of wood by the volume of one bar: 1 cubic meter. m / 0.006 cubic meters m. = 166 pieces.
Now there is the result, a total of 166 pieces of bar in the 1st (one) cubic meter of wood with a diameter of 40 by 50 mm and a length of 3 meters. Now everyone will be able to find out about the bar - how many pieces of bars will be in the cube. Using the same similar formula, it is possible to calculate the amount of a bar relative to other types of bar having different indicators and dimensions of the diameter.
Calculations and completion of a math problem
From the example, now we can calculate that the construction of the facility will require 100 running meters * 0.006 cubic meters. m. \u003d 0.6 cubic meters. m. Here is also the result, to complete the construction of the facility, which requires 100 linear meters of the bar, you need to buy 0.6 cubic meters of wood. This figure will be needed to recalculate the cost of a bar purchased piece by piece for a unit of product for the cost of one cube of wood.

Many, when building a house or a bath, are faced with the need to calculate how much lumber is required for work. Determining how much board or timber you need is simple. But the price of lumber is usually indicated per cubic meter, and in this case it will be more convenient to use a special program for calculations. With the help of our website, knowing the length, width and thickness of the board, as well as their number in pieces, you can calculate how many cubic meters of lumber you will need and how much one cubic meter or one board will cost.
Scope of application
Lumber is so called because it is obtained by sawing the trunk of a tree. Lumber is used for construction, furniture manufacturing, various containers and other products. Today, this type of building materials is the most popular. The wood from which lumber is made is an excellent heat-insulating material, maintains a stable humidity and does not require special treatment and care, which makes it especially convenient.Types of lumber
Timber includes timber, edged boards, unedged boards, building slats. The beam is a log processed from all sides. In the cut, it has a square or rectangular section. The timber is most widely used in the construction of houses, baths and floor structures.The edged board is a versatile lumber that is actively used both in construction work outside the building and in the design of the interior space. Edged board in cross section is an elongated rectangle. An unedged board differs from an edged board in that its edges are not cut off, so that a layer of the bark of the tree from which this board was cut remains visible. A building rail or bar is a bar with a smaller section than a regular one and is widely used in construction.
Lumber is classified according to the type of wood from which it is made. They are made from coniferous trees such as pine, spruce and larch. And from hardwoods such as oak and beech, birch, aspen.
Lumber is also distinguished by moisture content. They are divided into raw with a moisture level of more than 22 percent and dry with a moisture content below 22 percent. The former are used for construction work, and the latter for the manufacture of furniture.
There are also several varieties of lumber. The choice of grade depends on the application. So, for furniture, materials of the highest grade are used. For joinery and moldings, grade 1 lumber is suitable, and grade 2 and 3 are used exclusively as a building board. Lumber, if not used for a long time, must be protected from moisture. This can lead to their deterioration. It is not recommended to store lumber stacked on top of each other. There must be spacers between the layers of beams or boards.
In order not to waste time in the process waiting for the delivery of lumber and the problem of shortages, you should immediately calculate the required quantity and place an order with some margin. Initially, it is worth knowing how many boards are in a cube. The table given in the regulatory documents will help you quickly determine the desired value. You can also use the cubic meters calculator developed by our team, with which it is easy to determine the number of a specific size online. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the possible methods to make it easier to choose the best one.
Everything starts with choosing the right material. Manufacturers offer lumber of different sizes, shapes and degrees of processing. Each of these indicators can have a significant impact on the cost. In order not to overpay, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the most popular types of lumber, as well as their possible area of \u200b\u200buse.
Edged timber
The most popular type, widely used at the stage and repair work. Can have different sizes in all directions. Made from solid wood. All facets of the material are processed.
To find out how much will be in the cube, you need to know the sawing parameters. By multiplying the length by the cross-sectional area, you can find the volume of one product. To determine the amount of timber in a cube, it will be necessary to find the reciprocal of the found volume, expressed in meters. If it is initially known how much is required, the volume of one product will need to be multiplied by the required quantity. In more detail, how to calculate the cubic capacity, we will tell further.
Attention! Edged material has a natural moisture content. In reference tables, you can find the numerical value of moisture for different woods.
Planed timber
Lumber of this type in the manufacturing process must be dried. This affects the dimensions and weight of the finished lumber, as well as its service life. When determining how much a board cube weighs, this factor must be taken into account.
Planed timber has a high-quality surface that can be used in industry. Its sides in cross section are 1 to 2.
planed block
According to its characteristics, the bar is similar to the bar. The difference, according to regulatory documents, lies in the geometric parameters. If the width of the product is a maximum of 100 mm - this is a bar. Otherwise, we are talking about a beam.
Edged bar
Lumber with natural moisture content. It is similar in characteristics to a bar, but has smaller dimensions. When choosing, you should pay attention to:
- What kind of wood was it made from?
- how long did it take to dry?
- for what design is purchased.
Edged board
It is made from wood of natural moisture. It has a width twice the thickness in cross section. This significantly reduces the bearing capacity compared to timber. Most often used when performing construction work inside a building: when installing, flooring, walls. Suitable for the construction of a fence, outbuildings. The most popular board is an inch, the dimensions of which can withstand a significant operational load.
Floor board
Timber with a purpose. Manufacturers offer several types of floorboards:
- Parquet, characterized by high quality, we provide a three-layer structure;
- , combining the characteristics of natural wood and high-quality polymer;
- Usual made entirely of natural wood. Appropriate option for the device.
Attention! Choose a material that is thick enough for the specific service load.
Knowing how many square meters are laid, and how many boards are in a cube, you can calculate the thickness of the laid material.
Unedged materials
During the production process, such material is not processed from all sides. As a result, the finished product has two wide longitudinally placed plates and unsawn sidewalls. It is in demand in the construction of premises for various purposes, formwork, decking, as well as in the performance of various irresponsible construction works.
Before you count the cube, do not rush to look for the appropriate formulas. If you do not want to perform time-consuming calculations, reference tables will come to the rescue. How many boards in a cubic meter can be found with their help in a matter of minutes.
How many boards in a cubic meter according to the table
To begin with, it is worth noting that the dimensions of lumber are standardized. Using the regulatory documents, it is easy to find out how many boards are in a cube. To do this, you need to decide what size material will be used in the construction work.
If you could not figure out how to use the tables, you can use the online board calculator in the cube, or do the calculation yourself.
The basic procedure for calculating the number of boards in a cubic meter
Before proceeding with the calculation, it is worth knowing how to calculate a cubic meter. Such a volume will be numerically equal to a cube, each side of which is equal to a meter. To find the desired value, it is necessary to multiply the linear dimensions of the figure among themselves.
To begin with, the volume of one product is determined. If we are talking about a cut board, we multiply the linear dimensions of the board: length by thickness and width. If they are given in millimeters (mm), be sure to convert to meters. Otherwise, in the future it will be possible to get confused in the dimension.
After the cubature of one board is found, the order of calculation depends on what initial data is. If you need to calculate the number of products in a cube, we find the reciprocal of the value found. In other words, when calculating the unit (1 cube), we divide by the calculated value. The resulting value should be rounded up to a larger integer.
If the material is purchased for a specific surface, you will need to know the dimensions of the room in order to calculate the quadrature of the room. To determine the required amount of lumber, cubic meters are converted into squares. To find out how many square meters are in a cubic meter, you need to divide the cube by the thickness (height) of the selected material.
If you are afraid of making a mistake when calculating the required amount, you should calculate the board in a cube on a calculator. A special program using standard formulas will allow you to determine the desired value much faster compared to independent calculations.
