Pine moves noticeably with humidity changes -- installing without acclimation can result in gaps at joints after the wood adjusts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- FAQ --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Pine Finishing Lumber and construction pine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPine Finishing Lumber is kiln-dried, surfaced 4 sides, and graded for appearance -- it arrives with a smooth, consistent surface suitable for paint, stain, or clear finish. Construction pine is typically green or partially dried, rough-sawn or surfaced 2 sides, and graded for structural strength rather than appearance. Finishing lumber costs more per board foot but requires no additional preparation before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan pine finishing lumber be used for outdoor applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard pine finishing lumber is not rated for exterior or ground-contact use. For outdoor trim and finishing applications, cedar or pressure-treated lumber is the appropriate choice. For covered outdoor spaces where the wood is protected from direct rain but exposed to humidity, pine can be used with a thorough exterior primer and topcoat, but longevity will be shorter than a naturally durable species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes pine need to be primed before painting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, and the primer choice matters. Pine knots contain resin that bleeds through water-based and standard oil-based primers over time, causing yellow stains on the painted surface. Use a shellac-based primer such as Zinsser BIN to seal knots permanently before applying your topcoat. This is standard practice for all knotty pine painted applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrent stock includes 2\"x6\", 2\"x8\", 2\"x10\", and 4\"x4\".
