The thing that I have found a bit challenging when determining which timber to use has been the sizing.
Below is what I have been substituting for the dimensional lumber sizes noted in plans, I am live in Adelaide, Australia. I just wanted to run these past others here to see what they thought, are these roughly the timber sizes you have been using. It would be comforting to know I have been on the right track.
1x4 = 19mm x 90mm
1x5 = 19mm x 120mm
1x6 = 19mm x 140mm
1x8 = 19mm x 190mm
1x10 = 19mm x 240mm
2x4 = 35mm x 90mm
2x5 = 35mm x 120mm
2x6 = 35mm x 140mm
2x8 = 35mm x 190mm
2x10 = 35mm x 240mm
Would love others input.
Cheers
