Lumber (176 items found)

Wood lumber is an essential part of many home construction and DIY projects, whether it's used to build a sturdy structure or to provide a decorative outer layer. The lumber selection at Ace Hardware covers a wide range of wood types and budgets, making it easy to find the exact lumber wood you need.

What is Pressure Treated Lumber?

Treated lumber is wood that has been chemically treated to resist decay, insects and moisture. This process typically involves pressure-treating the wood with preservatives, making it ideal for outdoor and structural applications. However, not all lumber is pressure treated. It is common for lumber not to be pressure treated, especially for indoor use or applications where the wood is not exposed to moisture or insects.

Stud Lumber Vs. #2 Lumber

Stud lumber is specifically graded for use in framing and structural applications, ensuring consistent quality and strength. #2 lumber, while still strong, may have more knots and imperfections, making it suitable for general construction and non-structural projects.

Choose Lumber by Wood Type

Our lumber wood range contains materials to suit different needs and budgets, from economy lumber to get the job done without fuss through to high-end hardwood for more elaborate and decorative uses. Some of our most popular wood types include:

• Pine lumber: One of the most popular general-purpose lumber wood materials, pine is usable both indoors and out and can be easily stained and sealed for decorative use.
• Oak lumber: A great all-around lumber material, oak is tough enough to resist damage from day-to-day use, and suitable for carpentry, shelving, furniture and general finishing work.
• Basswood lumber: An affordable hardwood that's durable but easy to work with, basswood can take versatile stains to blend in with any other lumber wood.
• Cedar lumber: A hardwood lumber, cedar is particularly suitable for outdoor projects including fencing and other landscaping jobs.
• Poplar lumber: Strong enough for constructing housing frames, poplar is also versatile enough for all kinds of indoor uses including workshop shelving, cabinet-making and more.
