Instructions. Measure the length and width of the room in inches. Calculate the number of joists you need by dividing the length of the room by 16. You use 16 because the floor joists will be placed no more than 16 inches apart. Measure the distance between each floor joist.While the standard distance is 16 inches, the gaps may be smaller.Add these measurements together to determine the amount of lumber you need for the blocking.ou use 16 because the floor joists will be placed no more than 16 inches apart.

As with the joist size, the building code for your structure will stipulate the proper spacing between floor joists. The code itself is determined by the engineering requirements of a particular building. Normally, floor joists are spaced 16 inches apart on center. This means from the center of one upright joist to the center of the next. Given that 2x8s are actually 1-Â¾ inches wide, it works out to be 14-Â¼ inches between each joist. With some structures, floor joists are required to be 12 or 24 inches apart on center.
