      What type of sealant should be used if this is be used as exterior trim? Thank you.

      Answer This Question

      CuriousDIYer, we recommend using a semi-transparent sealant with a UV stabilizer. The stabilizer will not prevent eventual discoloration to a weathered gray appearance, but it will slow the process down.

          Could I use this wood as a plant stand?
          ByFeb 27, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          This lumber is not pressure treated, so it's not ideal for outdoor use where it would be exposed to moisture. It would likely rot quickly if used as a plant stand outdoors. However, if the plant stand will be indoors, or in a covered and protected area, then it could be suitable. For outdoor projects, pressure-treated lumber is recommended.

            Can this be used as a header frame above a door? I want to place an interior window on top of it.
            ByFeb 23, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Headers need to be able to support a significant amount of weight, and the species and grade of the lumber are important factors in determining its strength. It's recommended to consult with a professional or your local building codes to ensure the chosen lumber meets the structural requirements for a header.

                  We used this to secure out back door. It isnt anything fancy but it does what we needed it too. The cost was great and it fitted the hooks we purchased off amazon. It is as pictured. Picture attached. We got it delivered the same day at a low cost as well. The wood is sturdy and doesnt seem like it will give. No damage to it either like not wayer damage or rot. It is brand new. We really appreciate it.

                  The first piece I ordered looked really, really old, discolored and marks on it. This piece arrived and has red paint on it. Do you buyers even LOOK at what they pick out for customers? I did not expect to have to CLEAN and sand paint or ink off the 2x4's for my project. I am very disappointed. C McCracken

                  Moldy
                  It was obvious the piece of wood had been sanded down to remove mold, but the mold was still there.

                    They are 2x4's so not much to say other than I've ordered small amounts online throughout the past 12 months quite often. 30-35% are unusable and come warped, cupped, twisted. They defective pieces are sandwiched between decent pieces, with tight cling wrap. Anytime I order online, unfortunately I have to account for waste. Pre-waste, so to speak.

                    Decent stock for small projects. Several of the boards were warped though so needed to sort through the stack.

                    Not premium
                    I just received the order of premium grade 2x4s for strength and appearance. However they are definitely not premium grade they so saturated with sap its all you can smell and making them heavy. Huge knots on some of the boards as well as actual bark still left. When you order premium you expect premium now I will have to return.
