Description of Beams for Pergolas
The Beams for Pergolas have a Rough Sawn wood grain finish on all 4 sides. The beams listed below also have an interior sub-structure to prevent sagging or drooping. This makes it a great product for constructing your own Pergolas, Arbors and Trellises.
Please note: these beams are decorative only, and provide no structural support. The substructure is only inserted to prevent drooping.
All material is authentic reclaimed lumber from turn of the century buildings. By using reclaimed lumber, we conserve our natural resources and preserve a piece of American History. All material is hand selected and made with close attention to details. The wood comes from barns, grain buildings and warehouses. The majority of the wood comes in lengths from 14' to 16'. Occasionally it will reach lengths in excess of 20' but this is extremely rare. All surfaces will be rough saw and have beautiful patina and interesting character marks. These marks will create each piece to have a unique look. Nail holes, peg and post holes, worm holes, cracks and other distress marks will be present in all sides. Due to its authenticity, lengths over 12' may require a saw tooth joint. Our goal is to make these saw toothjoints look as authentic as possible. They are part of the interesting story behind the wood itself. Saw tooth joints were used to join timber so they would span the entire length of these majestic buildings of the past.
