SYP Decking Arrives From Brazil

Although 8' standard and premium southern pine radius edge decking has long been a popular d-i-y item, it can be difficult for both retailers and wholesalers to gauge and keep up with the demand.

"I spent 15 years in the retail business, ordering random length truckloads of decking that I did not need just to keep enough 8' on hand for my walk-in trade," explained Bob Bratton.

Now as president of Southern Lumber Sales, Inc', Rocky Mount, N.C., he has been forced to "cut 16' to 8', re-run 2x6x8 to 514x6, every way under the sun to supply our (retail) customers."

But Southern Lumber now has a new source in Brazil for southern pine decking, which reportedly recently earned the first association grade stamp for imported southern yellow pine.

The grade stamp and'Supplement No. 2 to the 1986 SPIB Special Product Rules for Radius Edge Decking were recently issued by Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, followed by intensive testing by the engineers at Virginia Tech under the guidance and approval of the SPIB and American Lumber Standard Committee. The recommended spans for standard and premium grades of imported southern pine RED are 16" on center.

The timbers are harvested from the largest slash and loblolly pine plantations outside the continental U'S. and shipped to The Battistella Corp.'s lumber and plywood plant, the largest in Brazil. Higher grade lumber is graded for rough decking and exported to Southern Lumber's remanufacturing facility and planer mill in Fayetteville, N.C.

Southern Lumber graders, under the supervision of SPIB, then surface, trim and grade stamp it into standard and premium RED.
