Answer This Question

Thank you for your inquiry, Kimmi. Unfortunately we don't have lateral strength testing of a 1-1/4" dowel to be used as a ladder.

    I'm going to plug a 3/4" hole in the end band just above the house's foundation sill plate. Home Depot has Poplar, Oak and Pine dowels. Which wood type would you recommend?

      Answer This Question

      Thank you for your inquiry, Edward. Hardwood when used outdoors should be properly treated to prevent the wood from being affected by the elements or by premature decay.

            Can you get a dowel cut in store to fit properly. You have 48 inch dowels - I need 46.5.

            Answer This Question

            Thank you for your inquiry, Dowels. Please speak to a store associate for more help on cutting a dowel to the size you need for your project. There is also a cut cart available in the moulding aisle that allows you to cut the item to length. I believe for a dowel, you will still have to pay for the full piece.
