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.

This build has incorporated stone, wood, and a Mountain Rustic architectural design intended to reflect many of the same attributes of traditional rustic Western architecture. Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™ product line is the primary siding material used for this build and was chosen for its rustic wood authenticity. ranchwood™ is a great option for those who want the beauty of rustic textured reclaimed barn wood. ranchwood™ rustic reclaimed barn wood alternative is a rustic option that can be Wire Brushed, Circle Sawn or textured in any of our other texture options.

This week’s featured project takes us to Jackson, Wyoming; a town defined by its extensive outdoor recreation, stunning landscapes, and focus on sustainable development. Montana Timber Products’ natural reclaimed barn wood alternatives are NO VOC, water based, prefinished products that surpass the environmental standards of conscious communities while providing the aesthetic beauty that meets the authenticity of the landscape.

Montana Timber Products offers many different natural reclaimed barn wood alternative and authentic reclaimed barn wood siding solutions. One of the advantages of Montana Timber Products is the customization options of all of the products. Each product is milled to order with a profile, texture, color, and style of your choice. The Shiplap and Channel Rustic (Shiplap with a reveal) profiles are popular choices that have both a utility and aesthetic purpose. The Shiplap and Channel Rustic profiles not only eliminate unattractive gaps in your siding, but also add beautiful lines of contour and depth.

The Montana Timber Products AquaFir™ product line featured in this project is a great solution to bridge the gap between mountain rustic and mountain contemporary architectural design. The Shiplap profile and Wire Brush texture contribute greatly to this natural reclaimed barn wood alternative siding solution. Similar to the multi-chromatic ranchwood™ product line, the AquaFir™ line offers a more subtle multi-chromatic finish, resulting in a fresh, less rustic, contemporary beauty.

The photos above and below give a closer look at the profile, texture, and color choice used for this build. The color of the siding, Slate Gray, is a color specific to the AquaFir™ product line. The horizontal siding is 1×8 Channel Rustic, and the vertical is 1×6 Shiplap. It is textured in the Wire Brush texture, which assists in the utility and aesthetic properties of the finished product. The increased depth of the wood grain from the Wire Brush texture creates definition, while also adding surface area to the face of the board, resulting in more effective penetration of the Seal-Once, NO VOC, waterproofer.

Regardless of whether you live in an area where it’s summer year around or only for three months, an outdoor patio is always thoroughly enjoyed by family and guests. This elevated garage-top patio provides ample space and elevation to enjoy the views of this beautiful mountain town.

Solution: Horizontal Circle Sawn Board and Batten, and Vertical reverse Board and Batten Circle Sawn Square Edge reclaimed barn wood alternative siding.

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.
