Are pine wagon boards suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes. Furniture made from pine wagon boards can stand indoors or outdoors. Tip: give outdoor furniture a coat of lacquer to keep the pine wagon boards looking good.

Do you cut the wagon boards to length?

Yes, we cut the boards to the right size for you, free of charge. We do it while you watch, in our reclaimed wood warehouse.

Will pine wagon boards still move?

Wood is a natural material and will always move a little. Because pine wagon boards spent years on the inside of a wagon, that movement is minimal. We do advise leaving the wood for about 2 weeks in the room where you plan to use it, so it can get used to the temperature and humidity.
