Glulam Beam Calculator
Pick what you're building, tell us the span and what's bearing on it, and we'll show the Boise Glulam sizes that carry it — straight from the manufacturer's engineered load tables.
Final sizes must be confirmed by a licensed engineer before you build or pull a permit. Builders Supply can get your design stamped and supply the material — just ask.
Sizing based on Boise Cascade® published BOISE GLULAM® 24F-V4 load tables. Builders Supply is a stocking dealer.

Point loads, cantilevers, wind/seismic, stacked or unusual loads, or a permit job — Builders Supply will get it sealed by a licensed engineer and supply the beam. One stop.
Sizes are read from Boise Cascade's published BOISE GLULAM® 24F-V4 load tables (GLM-5000) for uniformly loaded beams, dry-use, with lateral support at bearings and along the compression edge. Tables exclude wind, point loads, and cantilevers. Span is center-to-center of supports; bearing assumes full beam-width support. Tributary estimates assume standard symmetric framing — confirm your actual load path. This is a material-selection guide; confirm final design against your building code, or with a licensed engineer for permitted work.
