  Rough cut lumber

Increasing the depth of a beam provides more strength per inch than increasing the width. A nominal 2x6 is stronger than a rough cut 2x4 if you are using them in the horizontal. If you are asking which is strong as a stud, they have a similar cross section and the stress on a stud is compression stress, (not shear or bending stress which apply to horizontal members).

Time to do some stress analysis if you are going to use rough cut lumber for things like floor joist and rafters.

$ wise you cannot beat local rough cut lumber. In upstate NY you'll typically pay $.25 - .35/board foot for clear pine. I picked up 1000 ft of 5/4, 10-14" wide this past winter, air dried it for 4 - 6 months and have used 80% already. Time to place another order.

  Rough cut lumber

Around here any agricultural building can use rough cut lumber, if fact a building permit for an ag building is not required.

If a non ag building exceeds 150 sq ft or is wired a building permit is required.

Talk to your local build inspector/code enforcement person. He'll be a wealth of info. You may be required to use graded lumber for studs, joists and rafter yet be able to use rough cut for sheeting the building, or you may be allowed to use 100% rough cut.
