Weathered Wood Siding (Barn Wood Siding)

Every bit as green as reclaimed, our Engleman Spruce-Lodgepole Pine material is harvested from the beetle kill forests of Colorado. The experts say that there is no possible way we can use all of this material before it deteriorates or creates catastrophic fires. 1.5 million acres of trees have now been destroyed. The best thing we can do is harvest and utilize the material as quickly as possible. If you live in Colorado, you even get a tax credit under the Colorado Blue Program for using the product on your project. The blue staining in the wood is completely invisible after finishing so there is no compromise in quality.

Harvest Timber Co. is now offering Weathered Wood Siding (Barn Wood Siding) as a prefinished alternative to reclaimed barn wood. We wire brush the material to age the surface and then use a two step finish to provide a unique grayed out look. Our Prairie color seems to be the color of choice for most, but we offer 6 different colors ranging from dull browns, grays and a classic barn red-grayed to perfection. Click here to see our colors.

Our weathered wood siding is being used in both interior and exterior applications. Pretty much any siding pattern and lumber size can be finished with this process so whether you’re looking for timber siding, lap siding, trim, paneling, ceiling planks, posts and beams, or you name it… we can probably do it (siding patterns in 1×2 thru 1×12, 2×2 through 2×12 and squares from 3×4 through 12×12.

The finish is made by Olympic (PPG) and is currently holding up in our accelerated testing to 12 years of exterior weather with minimal fading so right now we’re offering a 12 year finish warranty, but we’re expecting this number to increase as the tests continue. These are low to zero VOC premium residential finishes that meet or exceed LEED and NAHB Green requirements.

Custom species are available: SPF, Cedar, Aspen, Fir.

Barn Wood is growing in popularity and Harvest Timber’s Weathered Wood Siding is a cost effective way to achieve the look without compromising the ecological benefits. Costs should average less than half of the cost of reclaimed. They don’t have to be denailed, sanded or finished on site so labor savings is another important consideration.
