How do I estimate wood weight for a load of lumber?

Find the wood density for the species and moisture condition, calculate the lumber volume, then multiply density × volume to get weight per piece. Multiply by the number of pieces to get total load weight.

Why does green lumber weigh more than kiln-dried boards?

Green lumber has higher moisture content and water content, which increases its overall weight compared to kiln-dried boards.
