Expert Reply:

You would need 7 of carpeting # CE11349 for six 2x4s that are 20 feet long. A 2x4 measures 10 inches around when you add up all 4 sides so you would not be able to use 18 inch wide carpeting between 2 boards.

So if we go by length the total length of six 20 foot boards is 1,440 inches. Our longest roll of carpet is 216 inches. So taking 1,440 divided by 216 we get 6.6 rolls need, rounded up to 7.

Or you could use 10 of # FCR8012 but I recommend going with 11 of this size because 1,440 divided by the 144 inch length is 10 exactly meaning no room for error!
