Using Barnwood Siding For A Rustic Look
These days, people like to be environmentally friendly and reuse materials rather than just throwing them away. If you are one of the people who love the look of old barns and buildings, you might want to consider getting barnwood siding for your house. A number of companies offer this reclaimed barnwood siding in various colors and sizes. Usually you end up with a mix of different shades and types of wood with barnwood siding, and the wood sometimes comes in a mix of sizes as well. Many companies are willing to do some sorting in order to give you similar colors or cuts of wood, so check with the company you are considering using to find out what they would do for you.
Trestlewood offers salvaged barnwood siding for sale. You will get a variety of different types and colors of wood from this company, but they will sort wood into broad categories for you based on general color and whether the wood is smooth or rough if you would like. This barnwood siding is available in a number of different configurations including shiplap, board-and-bat, wedgelap, board-on-board or board-to-board.
Another option is Carlson’s Barnwood Company, which can get you barnwood siding in a variety of colors, sizes, and grades. Color options include Country Red, Faded Red, Reddish Gray, Weathered Gray, and Rustic Brown.
Elmwood Reclaimed Timber offers this type of siding as well. They can either provide you with this siding in mixed softwood or mixed hardwood, with a variety of different edge profiles. They offer barnwood siding as-is, kiln dried, denailed, and power washed. You can choose the size you want as well as choosing from colors such as Natural, Brown, Red, White, or Naily. If you don’t ask or specify you will just get a general mix of as-is wood in various colors, types, and sizes.
If you can’t afford the real barnwood siding, or if it is too much work for you, you can always go to FauxSiding and get their Rustic Barnwood Faux Panels, which come in brown or gray and cost about $64 each for interlocking panels that cover about 7.22 square feet per panel. These will be much easier to install and much easier to care for, as well as being a lot less expensive to purchase.
