NatureAged Barnwood Siding

NatureAged Barnwood is a great rustic value. NatureAged is new or rescued material that has been naturally weathered to give it an authentic rustic charm. NatureAged Barnwood has advantages over conventional siding options. It has nail holes and is weathered grey or "tobacco brown" like other products on the market, but it provides a much more consistent look from piece to piece and also is available in primarily wide widths and long lengths. Available Configurations: Board-and-Bat, Board-on-Board, Board-to-Board, Shiplap, Wedgelap

Specification Sheet #7601 - NatureAged Barnwood Siding

Species	Mixed Softwoods. Mixed Softwoods may include Ponderosa Pine, Fir, Spruce, Douglas Fir, Cedar, Larch, others.
Source	NatureAged Barnwood is lumber which is naturally weathered to achieve a rustic grayish/brown appearance. NatureAged Barnwood may be i) lumber reclaimed from various salvage projects, ii) lumber cut from beetle-killed, fire-killed or dead-standing trees or other "rescued" sources, iii) lumber cut from material which has weathered out of spec, and iv) new lumber.
Standard Configurations	a) Board-and-Bat Configuration: i) Lumber Thickness: 7/8"; ii) Lumber Widths: 12" boards and 4" bats; iii) Lumber Lengths: random, 2' increments to 16', with no more than 10% of square footage being under 10' long; iv) Installation: 12" boards are installed with 2" of spacing in between them; 4" bats are installed over the spaces, overlapping the boards on each edge by +/- 1"; v) SF/LF Conversion Factor: Trestlewood will send 0.86 LF of 1x12 and 0.86 LF of 1x4 for each 1 SF of standard board-and-bat siding ordered.

For example, an order of 1,000 SF would result in 2,400 LF of 1x6 lumber being sent. Trestlewood will send 1.72 LF of 1x8 for each 1 SF of board-on-board siding ordered. For example, an order of 1,000 SF wouldresult in 1,720 LF of 1x8 lumber being sent. Trestlewood will send 1.34 LF of 1x10 for each 1 SF of board-on-board siding ordered. For example, an order of 1,000 SF would result in 1,340 LF of 1x10 lumber being sent. Trestlewood will send 1.10 LF of 1x12 for each 1 SF of board-on-board siding ordered. For example, an order of 1,000 SF wouldresult in 1,100 LF of 1x12 lumber being sent. c) Board-to-Board Configuration: i) Lumber Thickness: 7/8"; ii) Lumber Width: 12" boards; iii) Lumber Lengths: random, 2' increments to 16', with no more than 10% of square footage being in lumber less than 10' long; iv) Installation: boards are installed with their edges butted together (depending on various factors, including the geographic area, it may be advisable to leave a gap between boards to allow for expansion); v) SF/LF Conversion Factor: Trestlewood will send 1 LF of 1x12 lumber for each 1 SF of board-to-board product ordered. For example, an order of 1,000 SF would result in 1,000 LF of 1x12 lumber being sent. d) Shiplap Configuration: i) Lumber Thickness and Profile: boards are milled to 3/4" thick with 3/8" shiplap joints milled on opposite edges (and opposite sides of the board); ii) Lumber Width(s): 7" and 9" faces; iii) Lumber Lengths: random, 2' increments to 16', with no more than 10% of square footage in lumber less than 8' long; iv) Installation: Shiplap joints allow boards to lap over each other to provide some protection from moisture; siding can be installed horizontally or vertically; v) SF/LF Conversion Factor: Trestlewood will send 1.71 LF of 7" shiplap for each 1 SF of 7" shiplap ordered (an order of 1,000 SF of 7" shiplap would result in 1,710 LF of 7" shiplap being sent.) and 1.33 LF of 9" shiplap for each 1 SF of 9" shiplap ordered (an order of 1,000 SF of 9" shiplap would result in 1,330 LF of 9" shiplap being sent.) e) Wedgelap Configuration: i) Lumber Thickness: 7/8"; ii) Lumber Widths: 6" and/or 8"; iii) Lumber Lengths: random, 2' increments to 16', with no more than 10% of square footage in lumber less than 10' long; iv) Installation: Boards are installed horizontally with the lowest run boards being installed first and with each successive run overlapping the previous by 1 1/2"; v) SF/LF Conversion Factor: Trestlewood will send 2.67 LF of 6" wedgelap boards for each 1 SF of 6" wedgelap siding ordered (an order of 1,000 SF of 6" wedgelap siding would result in 2,670 LF of 6" wedgelap boards being sent) or 1.85 LF of 8" wedgelap boards for each 1 SF of 8" wedgelap siding ordered (an order of 1,000 SF of 8" wedgelap siding would result in 1,850 LF of 8" wedgelap siding boards being sent.)
Target Dimensions/Tolerances	NatureAged Barnwood lumber is sorted for widths from 1/2" nominal to full dimension (i.e., 5.5" to 6" widths sent for 6" lumber.) If NatureAged Barnwood lumber is cut (edged), it is cut to 1/2" nominal with tolerance of +/- 1/8". NatureAged Barnwood lumber thickness tolerance is +/- 1/4".
Waste Factors	LF/SF conversion factors set forth under Item 3 (Standard Configurations) do not take into account waste associated with end trimming, cutting out undesired characteristics, etc. The buyer should add an appropriate waste factor when ordering Trestlewood siding products. What is an appropriate waste factor? The answer to this question is very dependent on the buyer's application, design and taste (are there, for example, characteristics allowed by Trestlewood's specification sheet which Buyer will choose to cut out?), etc. Trestlewood recommends the use of at least a 10% waste factor when determining order quantities.
Moisture Content/Stability	Air-Dried
Knots	Unlimited knots; some tight, some fallen out. The shiplap configuration will result in more loose/broken knots as a result of the milling process.
Metal/Holes	Nails and fasteners are removed. NatureAged Barnwood Siding will generally have nail holes, but few, if any bolt holes. Staining around holes is common.
Checking/Cracks	Unlimited as long as board is sound; end cracks to extend no more than 12" into board.
Grain Pattern	Mixed
Surfacing	Weathered (degree of weathering varies); NatureAged Barnwood colors vary, but tend to grays. One of the unique features of NatureAged Barnwood Siding is that the colors will vary significantly less than standard reclaimed barnwood.
Weight	Depending on species mix. Typically, approximately 2.5 pounds per board foot
Other	NatureAged Barnwood Siding can be very brittle and may split easily. Special care, such as pre-drilling holes for nails, is advisable.
