Pine Wood Specifications: Product Form

The first thing you will have to determine is if you require pine lumber, boards/planks, logs, kiln dried pine, or treated pine. The product form determines all other specifications and the application for which it is intended.

Dimensions

Buyers are required to send their details of the dimensions of product like, thickness, width, length. including tolerances. If more than one set of dimensions can be accepted, the user should provide a range of dimensions or multiple options instead of allowing for an unstated number of possibilities.

Density and Wood Properties

Pine is a type of soft wood that has different properties based upon what type of pine was grown in which region, how it was processed, and other factors. Pine Wood Source offers technical details about pine on their Pine Wood web page. It should be noted that there isn’t a single density or hardness value that can be used to describe all types of pine. Therefore, when specifying products for projects, each type of pine used must have its own specification.

Moisture Content

The requirement for moisture control must match both the use of the product and where it will be shipped. If there’s a need to kiln dry the lumber, then provide the desired moisture level in your request for pricing.

Grade & Appearance

The buyers need to establish what characteristics they consider acceptable prior to placing an order. This will allow the inspector to use the agreed-upon standards to determine if the product meets their expectations. The buyer’s standards may include requirements regarding knots, defects, straightness, and/or appearance of the material.

Treatment

The type of treatment being specified should be identified as well as the need for treatment. “Treated pine” by itself does not allow for a complete description of the treatment required to obtain a technical quote.

The first step to submitting a full specification is to begin with the Specifications page. Once you have completed all sections of that page, you can submit the entire document to be reviewed. Request for quote
