Wood Design Values
Wood Design Values
(OP)
Wood Engineers,
I need to know the design values for wood, specifically, SYP, for components that are nominally 1x. Design value tables specify 2x as being the smallest dimensional lumber having tabulated and published values, as I have seen anyway. A link to information that could assist me would be appreciated.
Thanks.

With that said, using 1x lumber for a structural application raises a red flag in my mind.

A 2x is probably up around 800 psi.

2x4's are probably actually cheaper than 1x4's and definitely cheaper than a sheet of 3/4" plywood
