Damaged is a different matter, and one should absolutely not accept that. If there are a lot/many that are damaged, the building supply store has to even deliver new ones for free.R RallyrompanCB said:
I suspect that a lot of your planks are discolored at the ends, which can happen if they were poorly covered. That can easily be interpreted as an aging issue.
But, as mentioned, 6 months old is otherwise considered fresh. Anything newer isn't fun to build a veranda with.
You're probably projecting and overanalyzing quite a bit now.R RallyrompanCB said:
Generally, lumberyards tend to have a high turnover of timber, and when you make a larger order for a deck, it often comes as a new delivery. And 6 months "old" timber is absolutely not unusual for them to get delivered.
It's pretty much guaranteed that no one has picked out your wood by hand from their timber setup for self-pick when you order wood for a deck as home delivery.
Of course, individual beams can be picked that way.
Projecting? What do you mean?Dowser4711 said:

Same here as in other forums. There's always someone who won't just answer a question but has to play Freud too!R RallyrompanCB said:
Thanks and goodbye!
Thank you, you answered yourself.R RallyrompanCB said:
Your upset about someone intentionally giving you bad wood by picking out junk from the back of the pile to get rid of it does not have anything to do with reality at a normal lumberyard.
There you answered MY question. Imagine if you could have done that from the beginning Freud! It was an "old" often handled bundle that was sent to me to my disappointment. Perfectly understandable, I think. Hence a question about within what time frames lumber is handled. Simple! But go ahead and analyze 👌🏼😉
It might not be intentional, but have you seen these timber pickers at lumberyards? Seldom staff with knowledge, unfortunately..
So if you get whole bundles, the timber is good, but if you order a smaller quantity of many kinds, there is often a lot that is bad, unfortunately..
Absolutely, but thinking they do it because they want to get rid of an old pile that isn't being sold is something completely different.Rejäl said:
But it happens, we have several times had to exchange entire packages when there's been too much variation in aging, so it's nothing strange at the beginning of the season for treated decking...
Absolutely! That receiving subpar wood in deliveries is certainly not something "unusual" and generally handled smoothly through complaints, as has already been described several times in the thread.Rejäl said:
Yes, we have had a few decks over the years where we thought it would even out completely, which it hasn't, so the graying becomes different, and then there might be different widths in the gaps, but we've never had anyone complain about that.Alfredo said:
If there are grayed boards in the pile versus completely green ones, there's a risk it will be noticeable over a long time, if not always.
But now I'm quite picky, as many of our customers are, so many others wouldn't reflect on it...
Maybe I'm a bit occupationally impaired, so to speak😂😉
Yes, if they are gray already as "new", I understand you. Then I think decking nowadays is often almost more yellow than green... There used to be more goodies in the impregnation before...Rejäl said:
Well, I don't know if I agree. I'm including a picture where you see a deck where we laid the large area before the weekend and the greener part was laid on the Monday after the weekend, so you see how much the part that was out over the weekend in the sun has faded.
It fades really quickly in the sun...
