6x6 Douglas Fir | #1 & Better | Green | FOHC

Elevate your outdoor living space or heavy timber project with our 6x6 Douglas Fir posts. Known for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and beautiful salmon-hued grain, this is the go-to choice for builders who refuse to compromise on structural integrity or natural beauty.

Key Specifications

Grade: #1 & Better (High-strength, minimal knots, and superior appearance).

FOHC (Free of Heart Center): Specifically sawn to exclude the pith of the tree, significantly reducing the risk of checking, twisting, and warping as the wood seasons.

Moisture Content: Green (Unseasoned).

Species: Douglas Fir (Pacific Northwest sourced).

Why Choose #1 & Better FOHC?

Structural Excellence: Douglas Fir is renowned for its ability to hold fasteners and resist deflection under heavy loads.

Minimal Checking: By utilizing FOHC milling, these timbers dry more evenly than standard "boxed heart" posts, ensuring your patio cover, pergola, or entryway stays looking sharp for years.

Natural Durability: Douglas Fir is naturally resistant to decay, making it ideal for exposed structural applications when properly finished.

Best For:

Custom Pergolas and Gazebos

Heavy Timber Framing & Trusses

Architectural Porch Posts

Retaining Walls and Exterior Landscaping

Pro Tip: Because this timber is "Green," we recommend applying a high-quality UV-resistant oil or sealer shortly after installation to manage the drying process and preserve the wood’s natural color.
