July is the perfect time for summer projects and we have a couple products that will give you a few ideas.

Kebony

No summer can go without a outdoor deck ready to entertain. We have a perfect product just for that and it will also hold up to the harsh summer elements. Kebony is not only aesthetically pleasing but it is strong and also a durable alternative to tropical hardwood species.

Kebony is 100% environmentally friendly and sustainable. At Homestead Timbers we stock Southern Yellow Pine but can order Radiata Pine if needed. The boards go through a process called Kebonization, which means the boards are impregnated with a plant biobase which makes them a solid piece instead of porous.  The solid board will prevent penetration of moisture, UV rays, and other outdoor elements that decks endure throughout the course of the year.

Kebony starts out as a rich brown but slowly turns to a gray patina look over time and never has to be refinished.

Kebony Offers you:

• Maintenance free life cycle
• Dimensional Stability
• High Compression Strength
• Strong Resistances against decay, fungi, and insects
• Non-Toxic
• High Durability
• Cost Effective
• Lasts three times as long as typical pressure treated lumber

Uses for Kebony:

• Marine Applications
• Residential, Public and Commercial Building Exteriors
• Roofs
• Walls
• Cladding
• Deck/dock, public space planking
• Outdoor furniture

Log Railing

Rapid Log Railing is beautiful, easy to install, and 100% northern white cedar. It is great for both exterior and interior applications. Often used for decks, stairs, lofts, and sometimes even furniture if you are feeling creative. Rapid Log Railing is called “rapid” for a reason. It is designed to be quick and easy so that anyone will be able to construct and install it.

Log Siding

Log Siding is another great alternative product for folks who want to spend a little less and also creates a little less work. It allows people to build a standard stick frame home and make it look like a traditional log home. Log siding is a lot easier to replace if a section is damaged unlike whole logs. We offer various sizes in order to provide the look you desire.
