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.
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.
