Our wood framing products include traditional lumber, plywood and oriented strand board (OSB). We also stock an in depth inventory of engineered wood products which include laminated veneer lumber (LVL's) and I-Joists. We select our lumber suppliers based on their ability to produce consistent quality products while also employing sound forestry management practices, which include operating on a sustained yield basis. These practices help ensure that our industry is actively participating in forest regeneration for future use as well as protecting our environment. In addition, our mill suppliers have their production quality stamped by third party inspection agencies which include the APA (The American Plywood Association), WWPA (Western Wood Products Association) and the CLA (Canadian Lumbermens Association).

Outdoor Lumber & Decking

Decks are a satisfying and simple way to extend your home's living area outdoors. F.E. Wheaton stocks a complete assortment of products to help you build your dream deck. From tried and true pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine and Western Red Cedar wood products to innovative Trex decking, we carry it all.

Whatever the design, Southern Yellow Pine Pressure-treated lumber is an ideal choice for your new deck or deck addition. Available in a wide variety of grades and sizes, pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine is easy to work and can be painted or stained just like untreated wood. In fact, pressure-treated lumber delivers all the favorable properties of wood, plus a bonus: it resists decay and termite attack even in the most severe exposures.

Western Red Cedar is perfectly suited for deck, stair and railing construction. Western Red Cedar is cherished for its ability to naturally resist decay and insect damage. Its unique "grown-in-the-wood" preservative oil means that no further chemical treatment is needed unless the lumber is in direct contact with the ground. Product Stability? Nature favors Cedar. With less than half the swelling and shrinking tendency of other domestic softwoods, it lies flat, stays straight, retains fasteners and provides a firm base for paints and stains. Your Cedar projects will age gracefully through decades of Mid-western seasonal weather changes.

Trex decking and railing lets you create a deck unlike any other. Their innovative products allow limitless opportunities to express your individual creativity. Trex's low annual maintenance provides you with more free time to actually enjoy your deck.

Unlike wood surfaces:

  • Trex requires no stains or sealants for protection
  • Will not rot or deteriorate due to harsh weather
  • Is available in five color options to suit any home style
  • Is splinter-free
  • Contains no toxic chemicals or preservatives
  • Resists moisture, insects and damaging UV sunlight
  • Is the perfect choice for pools, hot tubs and spas due to its excellent traction even when wet
As an added benefit of your Trex deck, you are helping the environment because Trex is made primarily with recycled plastic grocery bags, reclaimed pallet wrap and waste wood.
