The biggest gatekeep by the lumber industry is that a 2x4 is not two inches by four. It is close to 1-3/4 by 3-3/4.

- eropple 3y agoThis claim doesn't make sense. Every store I've seen in the last five years includes nominal sizing of their dimensional lumber (which, for a 2x4, is generally a quarter off on every side, not an eighth)--and if you are buying dimensional lumber for its dimensions other than length, you either know what you're doing (I buy 2x8s and mill them sometimes) or you're doing it wrong.
