Douglas fir weighs 34 lbs. per cubic foot, that is 1 ft x 1ft x1f . Therefore a linear foot of a 6x6x12 is 1/4 of 34 lbs or 8 1/2 lbs per foot .
a foot of 4x6 Douglas fir will weigh about 2lbs. to 3 1/2 lbs. per running foot depending on the moisture content of the particular piece of lumber
The weight of a 4x8x20 beam depends on the material it is made from. For example, a standard wooden beam (such as a Douglas fir) typically weighs around 30-35 pounds per cubic foot. Thus, a 4x8x20 beam, which has a volume of approximately 5.33 cubic feet, would weigh around 160-187 pounds. If the beam is made from a different material, such as steel or aluminum, the weight would be significantly different.
It depends on the moisture content, but the number I have is 34 pounds per cubic foot, so about 120 pounds. I think this is a wet weight, so something less than that probably.
The weight a 2x10 can hold depends on various factors, including the wood species, span length, load type (uniform or concentrated), and whether it’s used in bending or compression. Generally, a 2x10 made of common framing lumber (like Douglas fir or Southern yellow pine) can support around 1,200 to 2,000 pounds when used as a beam with a reasonable span. For more precise calculations, it’s best to consult engineering tables or a structural engineer.
depends on length
The weight per foot of a 4 x 8 Douglas fir beam is approximately 3.5 to 4 pounds per foot. This can vary slightly based on moisture content and specific density of the wood. Douglas fir typically has a density of about 30 to 35 pounds per cubic foot when dry. Therefore, for a 4 x 8 beam, the weight is calculated based on its volume and density.
a foot of 4x6 Douglas fir will weigh about 2lbs. to 3 1/2 lbs. per running foot depending on the moisture content of the particular piece of lumber
Ball park? About 16 pounds per foot for your 6 x 12 Douglas fir beam. We all know that Doug fir will vary in moisture content and all that. And when you try to pin a density on it, the number skates around a bit. But having seen a half dozen different cites for the density, this one works well. And it's kinda "in the middle" of the pack.
The weight per foot of 8 x 8 Douglas fir lumber is approximately 50 pounds. This estimate can vary slightly based on moisture content and specific density variations in the wood. Generally, Douglas fir is known for its strength and is commonly used in construction. Always check local lumber specifications for the most accurate measurements.
The weight of a 4x8x20 beam depends on the material it is made from. For example, a standard wooden beam (such as a Douglas fir) typically weighs around 30-35 pounds per cubic foot.

It depends on the size and weight of the tree(s).
The Latin name for the Douglas Fir is Pseudotsuga . There are a number of varieties that carry the name of Douglas. P.mensiesii is the Oregon Douglas Fir. P. macrocarpa is the Large-coned Douglas Fir. P. japonica is the Japanese Douglas Fir. P.caesia is the Fraser River Douglas Fir and P. glauca is the Blue Douglas Fir. Take your pick. Pseudotsuga means false hemlock.
Douglas Fir grows in in the upper US and Canada.
"Fir". "Fur" refers to an animals hide or hair.
There are at least five different trees classed as Douglas Firs. Pseudotsuga menziesii the Oregon Douglas Fir. P.macrocarpa the Large Coned Douglas Fir. P.japonica the Japanese Douglas Fir. P. caesia the Fraser River Douglas Fir and P. glauca the Blue Douglas Fir none of them are true firs the difference being that the cones are pendulous and drop intact. Pseudotsuga means pseudo , false, tsuga , hemlock.
