Reclaimed Barnwood alternative
Reclaimed Barnwood is a naturally beautiful product that is often plagued with problems. Reclaimed Barnwood can be expensive, difficult to install, and can be full of hidden hazards. You will find that most painted, reclaimed Barnwood is contaminated with lead paint, arsenic and mold from being exposed to the elements for years. Needless to say, reclaimed Barnwood can be toxic and hazardous to your family’s health.
Easy Barnwood was created to capture the rustic, natural beauty of reclaimed Barnwood without the high cost, difficult installation and risk to your family’s health.

Q: How much Easy Barnwood should I order?
A: Add up the total square footage you want to cover. Add 15% for defects and cutting waste. Divide this number by nine. This will give you the number of 16’ pieces you will need for your project.
Q: Any helpful hints for installation?
A: Yes. You will want to randomly stagger butt joints for the best appearance. Your project will look its best if you install 40% – 60% of the 16” T&G pieces without cutting into smaller pieces. We suggest selecting the boards with your favorite character to leave as your 16’ pieces. Then, depending on how much rustic character you prefer, cut out any undesirable characteristics, holes, or occasional end splits on the balance of your 16”pieces.
