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

Douglas Fir Timbers, Beams and Lumber

Quote-led Douglas Fir (Doug Fir) for timber framing, beams, posts, and architectural work. Pickup in Black Mountain, regional delivery, and a project takeoff that prepares a standard quote.

How Timberline quotes Douglas Fir

  • Douglas Fir is quoted to your project requirements. Current availability is confirmed with each quote.
  • Pickup is at our Black Mountain, NC lumber yard. Regional delivery is available on the quote form.
  • The timber takeoff below prepares line items for a standard quote. ZIP, timing, and pickup vs delivery stay on the quote form.
  • Timberline supplies material to the sizes and specifications you provide. We do not engineer the frame.

Requested uses

Builders and homeowners commonly request Douglas Fir for beams, posts, timber framing, and heavy timber details. Those are requested uses, not a design service. Member sizing, grade, connections, and loads belong on the project plans.

Final member sizing, grade requirements, connections and load specifications must come from the project plans or a qualified engineer. Timberline supplies material based on the dimensions and specifications provided for the project.

Quotable sizes and options

Sizes and lengths are confirmed when we quote. The sizes below are request options rather than a live inventory list — including 10x10. We do not publish a stocked-versus-special-order matrix on this page.

Boards: 1x4, 1x6, 1x8, 1x10, 1x12

Dimension lumber: 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12

Timbers: 4x4, 4x6, 4x8, 4x10, 4x12, 4x14, 6x6, 6x8, 6x10, 6x16, 6x18, 8x8, 8x10, 8x12, 8x14, 10x10, 10x12

Requested surface is typically Rough or S4S. Other surfaces, including hand-hewn texture, can be asked when quoting. Custom sizes and lengths are labeled as custom requests, not stocked items.

Grade and appearance

Douglas Fir is often requested for a warm, straight-grain look on exposed members. Common requested grades and surfaces include Select, #1 Structural, #2, Clear, Rough, and S4S.

Hand-hewn and other appearance work is not listed here. Ask when quoting if the plans call for it.

Handling and specifications

Keep timbers and lumber protected from weather until they are in place. Final moisture, grade documentation, and surface should match what the plans require. We will confirm those details on the quote.
