Co-op Gives Away The Web

Do it Best Corp. has launched a new program to provide free Internet service to retail members and their customers.

The program, in partnership with service provider freelnternet.com, offers members' customers free dialup access, free Web browser software and free e-mail. Retailers can order CD-Roms containing the software from their retail service center at minimal cost and distribute them free to their customers. For customers who already have Web access, the software can be downloaded from doitbest.com or from any member's Web site.

A small ad banner is displayed online. The ad cannot be eliminated, but it can be moved around the screen.

"Estimates are that members could save their customers an averase of $200 per year in Internet fees. -That means if 2,000 members each gave away 200 CD-Roms, we could potentially be saving our customers $80 million a year," said Larry Pensinger, director of e-commerce.

In addition to the free Internet, members are issuing promotional offers to customers for their first electronic order. Individual retailers decide what discount they'll offer, such as free shipping or 257o off the total.

Depot To Open Western DC

Home Depot has signed a five-year, $13.25 million lease for a West Coast import distribution center in Mira Loma, Ca.

Initially, the firm will occupy 825,000 sq. ft. of space, however, the facility could be expanded up to 1.2 million sq. ft., according to the brokerage company that handled the transaction.

Eel River Sells Timberland

Eel River Sawmills, Inc., Fortuna, Ca., has agreed to sell 1,075 acres of old growth forestlands in the Mattole River valley of Southern Humboldt County to Save-the-Redwoods League, an environmental group.

The deal reportedly will commence prior to the sale of Eel River's assets to The Pacific Lumber Co.. Scotia. Ca. (see May, p. 37).

Eel River also plans to sell the group 280 additional acres of old growth Douglas fir on the northern boundary of the King Range National Conservation Area.

L-P Buys StranDek Plant

Louisiana-Pacific has acquired Hoff Companies Inc.'s StranDek business, accelerating its entrance into the composite decking market.

The purchase includes a 22,000-sq. ft. manufacturing facility that opened in Meridian. Id.. in late 1998 and a 70,000-sq. ft. facility on the same site, in which Hoff is winding down wood moulding operations but LouisianaPacific eventually will use for composite products.

The acquisition appears a perfect fit for Louisiana-Pacific , which expected to open its first composite decking plant in late May in Selma, Al., and was scouting locations in the West. Additionally, both facilities license Strandex Corp.'s proprietary extrusion technology.

The plants now produce decking, but complementary products, such as deck posts, railing and balusters, will be introduced over thenext 12 months.

Louisiana-Pacific will maintain and expand upon Hoff's network of distributors, but likely will abandon the StranDek name in favor of Boardwalk or WeatherBest, according to marketing mgr. Marty Fajerman.

There are a lot of good reasons for carrying L-P Solid Start' products: wide variety, a limitedlifetime warranty and the fact that they build great homes.

. LPI'20 and 32 series l-joists (solid sawn flanged)
