Douglas fir feather edge is a popular choice for those looking for a traditional and rustic style exterior cladding for a building or garage. Douglas fir is a strong and durable softwood timber and is a superb alternative to Green Oak.

There are a vast variety of colours within this cut of timber, including oranges, pinks and browns. With time and weathering, Douglas Fir will gradually turn a striking silver-grey colour and can darken considerably once cut. Please do note that Douglas is a natural product, and splits, cracks and fissures can occur during the drying process.

If you are looking for beams that contain minimal knot/ defect, it would be beneficial to ask for your timber to be strength or appearance graded. All Douglas Fir will be supplied overlength, for on-site final cutting.

Douglas Fir Featheredge cladding is available in the following sizes:

Ex 32mm x 200mm
3.6m
4.8m

It is available in a variety of widths, and you would usually allow for an overlap of around 25-30% of the board width.

All of our Douglas Fir can be ordered cut to section, and to the lengths, you require to minimise waste. Douglas Fir will be sourced UK Grown and can be ordered in lengths up to, and including 13.5mtr. Douglas Fir can be ordered as C24 graded, which will ensure that your Douglas Fir is suitable for its structural purpose. We can also ensure your materials are purchased as PEFC or FSC certified if required.
