Douglas Fir is one of the most common wood species in American Forests and is ideal for projects where strength is needed for a structural purpose such as pergolas, outdoor kitchens or covered areas.

Despite actually being a softwood, Doug Fir boasts many characteristics of lumber that falls into the hardwood category while maintaining its versatility.
Due to its durability and strength, Doug Fir is very strong and resistant to physical impacts making it an excellent choice for flooring, windowsills, and baseboards where accidental knicks and bumps can leave lasting damage. Many furniture makers will also use Doug Fir in their designs as well to provide a higher strength to weight ratio in their products.
