Hi all,
I have some plans for a mobile wood storage cart, and on one of the dimensions is says:

8” rgh x 22 1/4” in 3/4 plywood.

What does the RGH stand for?

Thanks!!

I thought it stood for rough, but in this instance, I’m not sure.

Lew I think you are still correct.

Padre,
I think with the influx of metric dimensions in lumber too many times RGH is being used to compensate for the differences in the types of measurement. If only a world-wide standard was adopted, but too many people here in the US like their feet and inches.

Hi all,
I got my plan from the “Family Handyman” magazine, so I’m not sure how legal it is to upload it here. Can someone fill me in on this???

BUT! It is very similar to this one

Are you sure you don’t mean RCH?

That’s a very fine measurement also. :-)
