While it is a waste of wood, is it really a bad thing? Strength and lack of potential to warp seem like positives, plus it’s a decent look as opposed to the common 2x4 look. :shrug: ---

Yeah, seems like an aesthetics choice more than anything. You could probably go with smaller structural members space 24oc too without any worries about flexing. ---

I would have ripped them in half and mounted them ripped edge down. would have saved a boatload of money and looked better from the edges. ---

it does look cool and very visually different. probably was cheaper than composite the normal way still. ---

Well I get that, but wouldn’t you accomplish the same by just laying down the 2x4’s horizontally without having to rip them? ---

Wow, all the discussion over wood. This is not uncommon at all. This is how gym floors and bowling alleys are laid out. The guy is probably going to sand and finish it. ---
