Removing the on-site staining, sealing and clean up, saves money, time, and the environment.   A pre-finished product that is sealed on all sides, protects the wood from the elements.  Montana Timber Products semitransparent stain contains enough pigment to change the woods color to meet your design needs, but not enough to obscure the grain.  Site finished products are subject to the weather conditions and timing from installation.  Once installed matching weather to a paint crews schedule requires more time.  Which can leave your materials unprotected for extended periods of time.  Allowing wood to get wet and not dry out before staining and sealing it, is what causes the stain to not bond well.  Site finished wood, requires days of good weather to prepare for the stain, it should be cleaned and dry for 24-48 hours.  Once stain is applied it requires drying time, most stains require 10-12 hours of dry time.  The perfect forecast for 2-3 days all while arranging paint contractors and their schedules can be tricky.  A pre-finished, ready to install custom made product eliminates those headaches and improves the quality of the finished product.

Decks and Rails: Do you prefer Rustic or Modern?

Decks and Rails: Do you prefer Rustic or Modern?

Spring is a good time to refresh the exterior of your home.  Refreshing or upgrading railing and decking can make everything look new or even change the exterior elevation of the home.  When deciding on what look you want to achieve for your outdoor refuge, think about what style you want:  modern, contemporary, country, or rustic look.  Outdoor space can be an extension of your home, make that space cozy and visually interesting to complement your home and style.   

When selecting the wood for your project, keep in mind Ranchwood™, gives a rustic look in more natural colors and AquaFir™, gives more of a modern/contemporary look with color choices for a vibrant appearance.  Both products offer many textures to complete a beautiful design and even compliment the homes siding/trim.  Mixing color choices can add a twist to a simple design and bring visual complexity to the deck and railing with no added work, all the products come prefinished.   Adding outdoor living space can also make the home look and feel larger all while being aesthetically pleasing.

Ranchwood Eastern circle sawn product brings the rustic look to the contemporary design using the horizontal railing slats.  The sturdy horizontal pieces make for a nice modern country look, while giving plenty of air flow and light to the space all while allowing for privacy.  This is a very economical way to build over a day light basement and also insures safety.

 

2×6 decking material is No.2 grade or better quality which minimizes knots and provide structural integrity.  The ranchwood and aquafir products provide durability and strength from either Douglas Fir or Cedar allowing for the balance needed to build a budget friendly deck with characteristics to compliment the home.

This traditional barn added some flair with a balcony off the living quarters to extend living space.  The railing is traditional vertical slats to stay in the rustic style of the barn.  Using Ranchwood in Tackroom color to create a rugged well-built extended living space.  The 2×6 decking was prefinished on both the top and bottom to meet the customer’s needs.  Ranchwood is an economical solution instead of using reclaimed barn wood for many projects while still achieving the weathered appearance..

This mixed material railing keeps the rustic look, but allows for some additional texture to compliment the wood by using metal mesh.  This combination compliments the building and allows light through, keeps the view unobstructed, but the space is also enclosed for safety.  Using wood balusters in a darker color than the siding keeps within the barn style for a natural look and the mesh just allows for some creativity in the finished design.

 

Whenever a project is being planned out having the peace of mind that all the wood is protected with a No VOCs, eco-friendly, water based formula of Seal Once, you know family, animals and the environment are not impacted by the project.   All of our wood comes prefinished to preserve the natural beauty and long lasting waterproofing.  Prefinished wood also allows for completing the project faster, no waiting on stains or paints to dry.  Leaving more time to enjoy using the deck.

 

Wood Fences from Rustic to Modern make a good neighbor

Posted on: April 27, 2018

Wood Fences from Rustic to Modern make a good neighbor

Spring can be a great time to find inspiration for making changes to your property.  Natural wood products bring a warm look to anyone’s home.  Various applications can change how you feel about your property or spruce it up to sell.

Fencing can tie together the entire home package, Robert Frost said “Good fences make good neighbors”.  Fencing is part of the landscaping, it can add character and something of interest as well as function to every home.  A well designed fence can add texture, interesting patterns and enable a home owner to have a sense of security and privacy from a fence all while enhancing the homes curb appeal.  Wood fencing can allow you to be creative with spacing, heights, board widths, color, and even mix with stone or other natural materials.

Corral Board products are recycled repurposed wood, giving a rustic look for any home.  We’ve been building with wood for over 10,000 years, recycling wood for projects like fencing is the perfect way to incorporate something old into something new.

Charwood™  is a Japanese style charred wood called Shou-Sugi-Ban.  This can give a modern contemporary look to create a beautiful fence that morphs into art.  Mixing the wood with rock creates texture and interest to the landscape. The 1×6 shiplap board creates the perfect interlocking pieces for a clean look.

 

Creating a privacy fence was not a challenge for this beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho hotel.  Making the space functional, yet cohesive with the hotel design allowed the builder to use a mixture of stone, steel and Ranchwood.  The channel rustic profile on the gates helped refine the look and keep it fully enclosed and sturdy.

Wood has always been valued for its beauty, practicality and value proposition.  Investing in the right fence for you will increase property value and allow you to enjoy your home to its fullest.  All materials are pre-finished and come ready to install.  Montana Timber Products feature Seal-Once allowing the beauty of the natural wood to shine through while being protected from the elements for many years to come.
