Q: How do I maintain a wooden carport?

• <div><p>Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.</p></div>

Q: What are board foot measurements used for?

• <div><p>A board foot is a volumetric unit and is primarily used for pricing and planning larger projects where volume is a factor. Pricing lumber by the board foot aids in understanding exactly how much wood you&rsquo;re purchasing, as volume is a more accurate unit of measurement compared to square feet. </p></div>

Q: What is the best lumber for building?

• <div><p>The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. </p></div>

Q: What can I use to enclose a carport?

• <div><p>There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you&rsquo;re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won&rsquo;t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure. </p></div>

Q: How much does lumber cost?

• <div><p>Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices. </p></div>
