Spruce Wood 2" x 8" x 8' KD

A 2x8 spruce board is commonly used in construction. Its actual dimensions are about 1.5 inches by 7.5 inches (38 mm by 190 mm). Spruce, a softwood, is lightweight and strong, with a color ranging from white to pale yellow and a uniform texture. Spruce 2x8s are primarily used for floor joists, roof rafters, and beams. They are easy to work with, abundant, and cost-effective. However, they require treatment to resist rot and insects in outdoor applications.
