74x90

74x90 refers to a common size designation, most frequently encountered in the context of lumber and framing materials. The "74" indicates a nominal width of 74 units, and the "90" indicates a nominal length of 90 units. The specific units are typically inches in the United States and Canada, though other measurement systems might be used in different regions. This size is less standard than typical dimensional lumber sizes like 2x4 or 2x6. It is often found in applications requiring specific dimensions or custom-cut pieces. For example, it might be used in the construction of custom furniture, specialized shelving, or certain types of cabinetry where standard lumber dimensions are not suitable. The actual milled dimensions of lumber are usually smaller than the nominal size due to planing and drying processes. Therefore, a piece of lumber designated as 74x90 would have actual dimensions that are slightly less than 74 units by 90 units. The exact reduction depends on the milling standards and the moisture content of the wood. When ordering or specifying 74x90 material, it is important to confirm the precise actual dimensions with the supplier to ensure it meets project requirements. This size is not a standard construction stud size and is more likely to be found in specialty lumber yards or manufactured components.
