EASTSIDE LUMBER & DECKING - Key Persons


Pine Wood

Pine Wood is the mainstay of framing lumber and big part of interior and exterior pine siding and trim for building a home in Austin. Pine wood and lumber is one of the most common of the building materials used on Austin Texas homes because pine is a great renewable resource. Southern pine lumber, Douglas Fir, SPF (spruce, Pine, fir) and D-grade stain well and can be milled for any style of siding (interior or exterior). Pine wood is one of the most popular products used for decking, treated pine is used almost exclusively for the sub structure because it can have ground or concrete contact without rotting. Pine deck wood is easy to work with. Pine takes screws and nails without splitting and is easy to saw because it is not a hardwood lumber. One of the things about pine wood is that it is used often in engineered wood. Pine wood chips are used to make engineered lumber like LSL, PSL, and OSB sometimes referred to as composite lumber and composite timbers. What is pine wood?
