Millennium Lumber is extruded in a solid, continuous form, assuring maximum consistency between each piece of finished lumber while also eliminating knots, chips, or other imperfections. A variety of colors are available, and the color is throughout the entire piece of lumber. Colors currently available are Gray, Black, Brown, White, Weathered Wood, Teak, Musket Brown, and Harbor Gray. Our proprietary process creates a realistic woodgrained texture on the surface of the lumber.
Millennium Lumber is the ideal choice for decks, boat docks, railings, fencing, stairs, and other landscaping projects. It is manufactured in 8 foot through 16 foot lengths, and custom lengths are available up to 30 feet.
No special tools are required for Millennium Lumber. It saws, drills, and nails the same as wood. There is no need to pre-drill, and you can even use a nail gun. We recommend the use of high-quality fasteners in your construction project, such as stainless steel or galvanized screws or nails. Please see the chart below for lumber dimensions that are available.
