Rafter Stock

Dimensional reclaimed lumber used for exposed rafters, ceiling joists, pergolas, and decorative framing.

With a wide range of sizing, surface textures, and species, our rafter stock gives you flexibility without sacrificing the character that defines reclaimed materials. Whether you’re building from the ground up or renovating a space to highlight original wood features, these boards are built to impress.

Rafter Stock FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between rafter stock and your standard beams?

Rafter stock is typically milled to more standardized dimensions (like 5, 7 & 9″ widths), making it better suited for paneling, exposed rafters, or trim-like applications. Beams are generally heavier and used in large-scale structural or architectural roles.

What sizes are available?

We offer a range of sizes from 1×4’s to 3×16’s

Is rafter stock suitable for visible ceiling structures?

Yes. Our rafter stock is often chosen for siding, wall and ceiling paneling, as well as interior and exterior trim and rafters.

Do I need to finish the boards before installation?

Our rafter stock can be installed raw or finished depending on your design preferences. We also offer pre-surfaced and wire-brushed options to reduce prep time.
