Exposed timber-frame posts, beams, and knee braces in a residential interior

Douglas Fir Timbers, Beams and Lumber

Douglas Fir for timber frames, beams, posts, and architectural details. Build a material takeoff from your member list, then send it to Timberline for pricing, pickup, or delivery from Black Mountain.

Planning a Douglas Fir project

  • Douglas Fir is chosen by member size, length, grade, surface, and quantity. We confirm the material that fits your list when we prepare the quote.
  • Pick up at our Black Mountain, NC lumber yard, or include the job ZIP on the quote form to request regional delivery.
  • The timber takeoff turns your member list into quote line items. Add one row for each size and length you need.
  • We supply material to the sizes and specifications you provide. Your architect or engineer remains responsible for sizing, loads, spans, connections, and the frame design.

Boards and paneling or a timber member list

Boards and paneling

Choose Regular in the planner for board and paneling requests. Enter the linear feet needed, together with profile, nominal size, grade, and length preference. Installed coverage must be confirmed; nominal width is not a coverage conversion.

Timbers, beams, and posts

Choose Timbers and add each member size, length, and quantity from your plans. Separate rows keep different lengths and dimensions clear for quoting.

Hand-hewn texture and other appearance work can be discussed when quoting. Include a photo, drawing, or finish description if the look matters to the project.
