Barn lumber is a great option for DIY projects around the house. You should buy this instead of freshly cut lumber if you are environmentally conscious. It may be a small contribution but it is a significant one that could have more impact if more people thought the same.
Buying wood from old barns also means that you get great quality planks. These were taken from centuries old forests that no longer exist. The wood is mature and stable so it will not succumb quickly to any type of weather. That’s why they are excellent options for sidings.
The look and feel of this type of lumber is unmistakable. It has more character than new wood as that can only come with age. Just clean up the planks with a bit of sanding and you will end up with beautiful materials for feature walls, backsplashes, sidings, and furniture.
