   Ten 2 1/2" boards works out to twenty five inches.....or a little over two feet. Two feet times the length of the boards ( eight footers) works out to sixteen square feet.

        Why don't you measure the area you demoed in sq/ft?     rg

   2.5" X 96" X 10pcs = 2400 sq inches   divided by 144 sq inches (1 sq ft)  = 16.66 sf. 

   Boy, don't envy your work.

   Since it's salvage, I'd measure up the junk you can't sell and subtract from where you took it from.  Sell it as "about" so many sq ft.  Let them do the math to see if you have enough.

   2 1/2" div by 12 = .208333

   Total Linear Feet x .208333 = Total Square Feet

   Easy round numbers... TLF/5 = TSF

   Thank you, SamT and Calvin!  I was looking for a quick calculation.

   sam's would be my method

   but

   are you sure it is 2,5" wide on the face? Most I see is 2-3/8" or 2-1/4" for coverage. If what you gave was not accurate, the factor given would be wrong too..
