Price of a 12 foot 2x8

2x8 Price Survey

The 2x8 Lumber Pricing table contains recent lumber prices for 2x8 of a variety of lengths with prices  from Lowes, Home Depot, Menards and potentially other stores based on their web sites.

This table is a repository of pricing data for common lumber (2x8's) as surveyed from the websites of major lumber retailers in the United States.  

The most recent 2x8 lumber price survey information is:

• Date of Survey: 4/11/24
• Store (online) Surveyed:  Menards 
  • Price of an 8' 2x8: $11.99
  • Price of a 10' 2x8: $13.99
  • Price of a 12' 2x8: $15.77
  • Price of a 16' 2x8: $20.76

All prices are in U.S. dollars and based on searches of nationally advertised prices from the provider's web sites.   Search string: "kiln dried 2x8 lumber" is used in the retailer's website.  The term two by eight (2x8) refers to the rough cut dimensions of construction grade lumber.  However, the typical 2x8 purchased at a lumber yard is actually `1 1/2`" x `7 1/2`".   Nonetheless, the term 2x8 persists. These values can be used in the Joist Framing Calculator.

NOTE:  Local pricing should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be used!  These price points are for estimation convenience only, and there is no guarantee on the prices of the product nor of their availability at the stated price.
