Product Code: PINE16PACTG12

Lumber, Pine



Pine has long been a standard for exterior siding. It is considered to be a soft wood, and as result is less expensive than harder species. It may be difficult to purchase knot-free pine in longer lengths, which can make a project more labor-intensive and costly. Pine holds a finish well, and is a good material to use when painting or staining horizontal siding. You need to be careful not to purchase fast-growth pine for siding because it can be prone to cupping, splitting, and checking. Finally, it is not a rot-resistant wood, so it is important to keep it sealed and well maintained.
