density. This makes it the preferred choice for home
construction and commercial softwood projects. From boardwalks and decks to

holds nail better. Also, this pine species has low moisture content and amounts
of shrinkage. This makes it the ideal solution, which is easy to work with
using hand tools and machines.

is more versatile and stable than other types of wood. Similarly, you are
assured aesthetically-pleasing, durable designs that will last for years – if
not – generations to come. With this in mind, you won’t have to go back and
redo parts of your project. Instead, you can enjoy quality time with loved
ones, friends and pets on your new Southern Pine porch, deck or floor!
