Where: Minnesota

What: Upycycled shipping container homes with rustic reclaimed Corral Board siding.

Solution: Mixed texture Band Sawn and Circle Sawn Square Edge Corral Board, reclaimed barn wood with authentic fastener Holes and bands of moss.

Product: Corral Board Silver Patina Authentic Reclaimed Barn Wood

This week’s featured project takes us to Minnesota, one of the spectacular beauties of the Midwest. In recent years there has been a trend of upcycling used shipping containers as space efficient homes. The surplus of imports over exports utilizing shipping containers in the United States has caused a surplus in empty shipping containers. Surprisingly, the cost and environmental impact of shipping these empty shipping containers back over seas outweighs the production of new ones. Innovative people are upcycling these surplus, structurally sound shipping containers into alternative, sustainable, space efficient homes. The idea of upcycling is based on the principle of utilizing available non-virgin materials. The use of authentic reclaimed barn wood lives on the same principle of upcycling available materials before creating new ones. Montana Timber Products’ Corral Board authentic reclaimed barn wood is a great way to bring a piece of Western history to your home while lending a helping hand to Mother Nature.

The photo below is a great representation of the beauty of Silver Patina reclaimed Corral Board natural wood siding. Silver Patina Corral Board gets its beauty from Mother Nature and nothing more. Corral Board‘s exposure to decades of harsh elements creates strong wood that is free of stress and has an extremely low moisture content, making it a reliable, long lasting siding material.

Our product, Corral Board, is an authentic reclaimed wood product that encompasses the history of the West. Weathered from decades of prairie winds, sun, and precipitation, it is left with a silver patina finish, bands of moss, and authentic fastener holes. The random, mixed Band Sawn and Circle Sawn textures found in this wood is another testament to its rustic authenticity. Whether used for siding, trim, or paneling, Corral Board will bring an authentic beauty to your home. We offer this product in 1×4-1×12, 2×4-2×12, random length 4′-20′. The species is Douglas Fir and Pine.

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 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.
