Questions & Answers

Can I use this under a metal roof?
ByJan 9, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, a 2x3 can be used in a metal roof assembly, but it is usually only appropriate as a light-duty purlin or furring strip when all the design loads (snow, wind, spacing, panel type) are checked and approved by engineering or the metal roof manufacturer. Building codes and industry practice typically assume larger members like 2x4 or 2x6 for roof framing and purlins, especially in areas with snow or higher wind. Regards, Max.

    Can it be used outdoors

    Answer This Question

    It can be used outdoors, but it will not last as long as pressure-treated wood. Always keep in mind that prolonged exposure to moisture (such as direct contact with the ground) will cause the wood to decay. Max

                    It's for a duck house, so I didn't need superior structural support. I would have preferred straighter and at least something that met the grade assigned. Full knots all the way across the flats, rotted ends, roller marks where the wood was too thin to hit the planer knives, splits running over half-way down the boards and don't get me started on the curves. The only thing holding them semi straight was the banding of the sling. I needed 25 and I got about 8 that made 'grade' and the rest I figured I could cut what I needed out of them and burn the +30% scrap. I would provide photos of the flaws, but you probably should experience this for yourselves someday. I'm posting this image of the final product to give you hope that, with enough money, you can have a duck house... and a nice fire.

                      I used this for display rack project for my church. All the wood was straight with minimal knot holes. I sanded it down, covered it with a coating of Zinsser primer for the knot holes and spray painted the wood with some Rust-oleum decorative paint.

                      Project was a success...I was worried about ordering online and picking up curbside but they pulled/bundled good product (not cracked, twisted junk) and had it tied neatly together for pickup.
