Product: Montana Timber Products ranchwood™

This week’s project follows last week’s project in Driggs, Idaho, featuring a second home in a four home development. This Mountain Rustic home features a combination of cedar shakes, hewed stainless steel paneling, stone, and Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™, rustic reclaimed barn wood alternative. Montana Timber Products’ comprehensive offering of reclaimed barn wood and reclaimed barn wood alternatives gave the designer of this four home project many options to make each one its own unique mountain rustic design.

This build utilizes Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™ rustic reclaimed barn wood alternative siding and trim. The ranchwood™ product line features eight standard color options. However, all material is made to order and fully customizable. Variations of color tones can made to your preference.

All Montana Timber Products natural wood siding products can be profiled in any standard or custom profile. Among others, popular standard profiles include Shiplap, Channel Rustic (a.k.a. Shiplap with a reveal), and Tongue and Groove. There are also multiple design options when using standard Square Edge siding. The photo above displays the use of Square Edge siding for horizontal Board and Batten and vertical reverse Board and Batten design.

The varying milling practices used at different points in time determined the various textures that are seen in traditional rustic reclaimed barn wood. Dating back to the more primitive practices of non-mechanized hand tools, structural timbers were commonly Hand Hewn with an adze or an axe. Montana Timber Products offers two texture offerings to replicate these traditional rustic hewing techniques. The options are Hand Hewn and Pioneer. Additionally, more commonly seen rustic siding texture options are Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed. The Circle Sawn texture commonly seen on rustic reclaimed barn wood is created from the large circular saw blades used in more traditional milling practices. The Wire Brushed option, like the Circle Sawn, adds physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain. In addition to the aesthetic beauty added from the texturing process, greater surface area is created, which allows the Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood.

All Montana Timber Products natural wood siding is crafted from new, non-chemically treated wood. This means that there is no introduction of chemicals into our environment or into your home, making all products safe to use for interior and exterior applications and free of noxious odors. Additionally, because you can choose your dimensions, you will reduce waste from 30-40% of traditional reclaimed wood usage to 5-10% when using ranchwood™; eliminating waste and saving you money.

Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

This week’s Montana Timber Products featured project takes us to Driggs, Idaho. Sitting on the Western border of the the Teton Mountains and Jackson, Wyoming, Driggs is a fantastic vacation destination for skiing Grand Targhee Mountain Resort and is still a stones throw away from Jackson Hole. If you’re looking for the deep snow, stop at Grand Targhee, as the majority of the storm fronts move West to East, and drop the more of the snow on Targhee before hitting Jackson hole.

This home, built with ranchwood™ reclaimed barn wood alternative Shiplap siding and trim is complimented by cedar shakes and a stone chimney. ranchwood™ siding provides the vintage and rustic look that many homeowners are looking for to match the aesthetics of traditional Western architectural design.

The lighter tone, vertical Square Edge ranchwood™ siding is featured in mixed width. The mixed width siding is a great choice for creating a similar result to traditional reclaimed barn wood, as dimension choice is often limited when choosing true reclaimed wood. Unlike true reclaimed barn wood, all of Montana Timber Products’ reclaimed barn wood alternatives are available in any dimension and quantity of your choice. Reclaimed barn wood alternatives allow you the freedom of design while minimizing waste, saving you money, and providing the integrity and ease of install of new wood.

Montana Timber Products is unique to many other reclaimed barn wood suppliers. ranchwood™, the flagship offering, is one of our reclaimed barn wood alternatives and provides the rustic appeal of reclaimed barn wood. However, ranchwood™ is made from new, NO VOC, chemical free, kiln dried, natural wood siding. If you are looking for an authentic reclaimed barn wood, Corral Board has authentic fastener holes and a silver patina finish left from decades of prairie winds, rain, and snow.

Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

The weather conditions of Deer Lodge, Montana closely emulate much of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest.  Snow, rain, sun, and wind are the usual elements which MTP’s Ranchwood products must be prepared for.  The RW Sealant waterproofer is designed and tested to beat the most harsh weather conditions and protect owner’s investment for years.

2×12 Ship Lap Siding (Eastern Exposure)

Originally, the developer of this private club used reclaimed barn wood for original structures.  However, when it came time to put the pencil to the next phase of expansion the waste factor and higher priced option of reclaimed wood wasn’t going to make the cut.  Ranchwood’s lower waste, competitive price, and ability to be customized with color and profile options compelled the owner and developer to choose it as the most reliable solution.

Vertical (1×6 Ship Lap) and Horizontal Profiles (2×12 Ship Lap) are often utilized to compliment various design features.

“Finding a product which was consistent, had great esthetic appeal, integrated well with existing structures and the landscape, and had a warranty proved to be integral in our development plan,” said Fred Nadeau, General Manger of RCC.  The architectural recommendation from CTA and follow through from Montana Timber Products made our decision much easier. “The first phase of our newest townhome addition, known as Sweetgrass Cottages, is complete and we are estatic that our units are selling well,” commented Nadeau.

“CTA Architects Engineers is a well known design build company which has offices spread throughout the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest.  We constantly evaluate product options, complete cost analysis for our customers, and recommend only the very best values for our customers-Ranchwood passed the evaluation with flying colors,” said Randy Rupert, Business Development Manager for CTA.

“Montana Timber Products ability to regionally meet with architects and developers is a pillar of the company’s customer service.   Our regional sales representatives understand our products, have met with hundreds of architects and contractors to explain its benefits, and have successfully sold Ranchwood to homeowner’s, developers, and contractors,” said MTP CEO John Giuliani.

Ranchwood is an excellent choice for either individual or multiple dwelling unit development.
