Your 5-point checklist before ordering Black Locust Lumber
- What Black Locust board length shall I order?
Over the past decades of our experience with Black Locust wood, we have achieved many award-winning commercial and residential projects by assisting and fulfilling custom designs. Since Black Locust Lumber is a custom manufacturer we offer you greater flexibility in your design choices than a traditional lumber yard. This will allow your design professional to explore creative ideas and achieve a distinctive finished look.
Ordering Black Locust Lumber decking boards from a custom saw mill gives you the freedom of going beyond the standards.
- What lumber grading will work best for my project?
Black Locust is a beautiful and durable type of wood with very special characteristics. Due to its characteristics we advise not to turn to NHLA’s grading system when selecting the right grade for Black Locust. Instead we have developed our own grading rules over 20 years ago to ensure you receive the best quality wood. Please check our grade guide to learn more about Black Locust Lumber grading.
Black Locust Lumber decking boards require a unique grading system to ensure the highest of quality.
- Which fasteners should I use on my Black Locust deck?
Once you have selected the length and grading of your board, all there is left to do is decide on your finish which depends on what fasteners you will be using. There are several fastening systems that will work with Black Locust Lumber decking. Hidden fastening systems allow you to build a strong deck that compliments your deck’s clean design. No matter if your fastener requires grooved boards, or even Tongue-And-Groove (T&G) porch decking, just let us know, at Black Locust Lumber we are able to accomodate all needs. We provide the same price no matter what finish you require for your preferred fastening system.
