Pressure Treating Heavy Timber increases the longevity and appearance of the wood. The chemical preservative that the material is treated in makes the timbers resistant to insects, fungal decay, and moisture. It also protects the material in severe weather conditions.
Old South Wood Preserving, LLC carries a wide variety of heavy timber. We are also able to special order sizes if the size you need is not something we currently stock. We carry the following sizes:
6x6 in lengths from 8ft-24ft
8x8 in lengths from 16ft-36ft
10x10 in lengths from 16ft-36ft (Special Order)
12x12 lengths from 16ft-36ft (Special Order)
Heavy timber is used in both commercial and residential buildings. Heavy timber is more recently being used in the construction of new homes and “Barndominiums”. Heavy Timbers are often left exposed inside this style of home to give the home a more rustic look.
