Pinus Resinosa, commonly known as Red (Norway) Pine is the only softwood species naturally found in the northern Great Lakes region that readily accepts CCA treatment. In its roundwood form, Red Pine is used for poles, pilings, cabin logs and posts.

The strength properties of Red Pine make the wood ideal for use in construction applications, such as girders, beams, joists, studs and trusses. Red Pine is 30% less dense than yellow pine, which makes it naturally easier to climb or use for framing. Red Pine also remains lighter after treatment, which helps to minimize freight cost.

Biewer Lumber and its divisions are located in the heart of Red Pine country in the Great Lakes region. Our landowner management program ensures the protection and future availability of our products, as well as environmental responsibility. Biewer foresters work hard to procure only the best logs for pole production while maintaining environmentally sound harvest practices.

Once the logs arrive at the sawmill, the straightest of those are chosen for Biewer poles. Our central location enables us to pass savings on to our customers in freight, especially because Red Pine is lighter than yellow pine.
