What is the best type of wood for timber trusses and exposed beams? We start with the very best raw material we can source. 95% of the trusses and beams we produce are graded as #1 & better Free Of Heart Center (FOHC) Douglas Fir (South), logged from coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. This species is 40% stronger than Western Red Cedar and with these specifications will be the most stable, beautiful, and cost effective choice for your timber frame project.For more specifics on lumber grading, moisture content and specifications, take a look at our "what you need to know" page.
What's the best species to use for beams? Our stock timbers are #1 & Better Douglas Fir in sizes from 2x4-4' to 12x12-24'. Larger sizes can be added to one of our regular inbound shipments, and we can custom cut any size timber called for in your project. We also sell timbers in Western Red Cedar & Cypress, as well as reclaimed timbers and our faux aged timbers which give you the look of reclaimed but are about 30% cheaper than true reclaimed timbers.If we don't have what you're looking for in stock, we can get it for you!
What is the most important aspect of timber used in timber framing? Stability is the most important quality when it comes to timber framing and producing beautiful, trouble free timber trusses. There is one specification that will give you the best assurance of stability, and that specification is FOHC.

We love our trusses from Ryan Wholesale Inc. The process to have the trusses made was pretty easy. We live in Virginia and are building our new home in Dallas, TX. Our communication was via email and phone. Doug, the President of the company, worked with us and our builder to make sure our trusses were perfect! Doug is a true business professional who knows the product and he was accessible whenever we had questions. We will post pictures of our beautiful work of art when we settle in to our home.
