Heavy Timber Beams

Timber beams can be used for both interior and exterior construction. They are commonly used in timber framing, rafters, trusses, floor joists, decking, porch posts, pergola construction, mantlepieces, and many decorative accents. Barn wedding venue construction is a very popular use for our timber beams, as well.

Our beams are sold by the Linear Foot (LF) up to 40 LF, available in even lengths.

Our beams are available in Sanded Four Sides (S4S), Rough Sawn, or Fresh-Sawn Rough (Rough Sawn cut with a bandsaw to provide a more uniform, bright appearance than standard Rough Sawn). All S4S and Rough Sawn beams are priced as quoted. Please call us for current pricing on Fresh Sawn beams.

Air Dried.

Hand Hewing is available in a variety of styles for an additional $1.19/LF per side.

Our beams are available in Eastern White Pine, Western Red Cedar, and Douglas Fir.

Our beams are non-grademarked, but are generally conforming to the following timber grades:  Eastern White Pine - #2 Grade, Western Red Cedar - #1 Appearance Grade, and Douglas Fir - #1 Free of Heart Center (FOHC) Grade.  Please see our Technical Guides page or the Western Lumber Product Use Manual for more information on grading and structural design load tables.

Our heavy timber beams are cut to Standard Dimensions.   (Example: Per WWPA guidelines for Standard Dimension timbers, a nominal 4"x6" timber nets to 3 ½”x5 ½” actual dimensions after it has been sawn.) All beams larger than 8” inch will mill to the ¼” inch. (Example: A 8x12 Beam will net an overall 7 ½”x 11 ¼”.) Please call us if you are interested in a quote on Full Dimension beams.

Our lead time for timbers is typically 2-3 weeks from the date of order. Lead time may vary on large orders or oversized timbers. This is dependent upon availability at the time of order.
