Strong. Sustainable. Smart.
WHY
SOUTHERN PINE
THE SMART
CLIMATE CHOICE
When it comes to sustainable building, wood – including Southern Pine – wins hands down. Southern forests play an important role in storing carbon. The ideal climate grows at a sustainable rate and when trees are manufactured into lumber, carbon is stored as wood. Southern Pine’s durability means anything constructed with it can last a lifetime and longer.
At the end of its life, wood products can be recycled or used as biomass fuel, which is why wood use is increasingly recognized as one way to combat climate change.
USING SOUTHERN PINE
No other building material can match Southern Pine lumber’s unique combination of benefits, including value, strength, ease of use, and environmental superiority.

Southern Pine is one of the most sustainable – and often long-term cost-effective – options. It is dependable for everything from building a deck to framing a five-story residential complex – and everything in between including flooring, marine construction, material handling, furniture, permanent wood foundations, post-frame construction, siding, trusses, and more. Plus, there’s no replacement for the natural beauty of real wood.
