 Lumber Grades

#1 Grade – Highest quality of lumber with few small, tight knots. #1 is stronger than #2 grade lumber because of this characteristic.

#2 Grade  – Knots are a little bigger than in #1  but no larger than 1.5 times the width of the board. #2 lumber and the product is mainly used in non-appearance applications.

#3 Grade – This utility grade lumber has a less desirable appearance and is typically used for crating boxes and wood pallets.

Red Pine:

Southern Yellow Pine:
SYP is one of the strongest species of wood and an ideal choice for being used in building products.
