Construction and Materials
Universal Forest Products (UFP) offers a comprehensive range of lumber and engineered wood products, serving diverse construction and industrial needs. Their product line encompasses various categories, including hardwoods, softwoods, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), lumber, treated lumber, and plywood.
The construction and materials utilized in UFP's offerings are fundamentally wood-based, processed and engineered to meet specific performance requirements. The type of wood and the manufacturing process vary significantly depending on the product category:
- Hardwoods: These are dense, strong woods sourced from deciduous trees. They are typically used for applications requiring durability, aesthetic appeal, and high structural integrity, such as furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and millwork.
- Softwoods: Sourced from coniferous trees, softwoods are generally lighter and less dense than hardwoods. They are widely used in construction for framing, sheathing, and general carpentry due to their availability, workability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Oriented Strand Board (OSB): OSB is an engineered wood panel product manufactured from cross-aligned strands of wood. These strands are bonded together with synthetic resins under heat and pressure. The cross-directional arrangement of the wood strands provides OSB with strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, making it a popular choice for sheathing, subflooring, and roofing.
- Lumber: This is a broad category encompassing sawn wood used in construction and manufacturing. It includes dimensional lumber, beams, and posts, typically derived from both softwood and hardwood species. The processing involves cutting logs into planks, boards, and timbers of various sizes and grades.
- Treated Lumber: This type of lumber has undergone a chemical treatment process to enhance its resistance to decay, fungi, and insect infestation. Common treatments involve pressure-impregnating the wood with preservatives. Treated lumber is essential for applications exposed to moisture, such as outdoor decks, fences, docks, and structural elements in ground contact.
- Plywood: Plywood is an engineered wood panel made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies, that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. This cross-graining provides superior strength, stability, and resistance to warping and shrinking compared to solid lumber. Plywood is used extensively in construction for subflooring, wall sheathing, roofing, and concrete formwork.
UFP's commitment to quality and innovation is reflected in their diverse portfolio of wood products, catering to a wide spectrum of industry demands.

Product Summary
YellaWood® pressure treated lumber products offers the best protection against rot, fungal decay and termite attack. The little "yella tag" represents quality, and means your project will withstand the weather season after season.
The environmental choice for outdoor building! The products are treated with the first wood preservative process certified as an Environmentally Preferable Product by Scientific Certification Systems.
Construction and Materials
YellaWood® brand pressure-treated lumber is a premium choice for outdoor projects, offering enhanced durability and resistance to decay, fungi, and insects. The YellaWood® brand is known for its distinctive yellow color, which serves as a visual indicator of proper treatment and helps contractors and DIYers easily identify the product.
The construction of YellaWood® lumber involves impregnating the wood with a high-quality preservative solution under pressure. This process ensures that the preservative penetrates deep into the wood fibers, providing long-lasting protection throughout the entire piece of lumber. This deep penetration is crucial for preventing premature degradation and extending the lifespan of structures built with this material.
The primary material used in YellaWood® products is wood, typically southern yellow pine. Southern yellow pine is chosen for its inherent strength, stiffness, and density, making it an ideal substrate for pressure treatment. The wood is carefully selected and graded to meet specific quality standards before undergoing the treatment process.
The preservative used in YellaWood® lumber is an environmentally responsible solution that is safe for use in various applications, including those in contact with the ground and freshwater. This treatment is specifically designed to protect the wood from:
- Fungal decay
- Insect attack (including termites and carpenter ants)
This makes YellaWood® lumber a suitable choice for a wide range of outdoor applications such as decks, fences, pergolas, playground equipment, retaining walls, and structural elements exposed to the elements.
Beyond its protective qualities, YellaWood® lumber is also valued for its workability and aesthetic appeal. It can be easily cut, drilled, and fastened using standard woodworking tools and hardware. The consistent quality and bright, vibrant yellow color of YellaWood® lumber make it easy to work with and provide a pleasing visual finish for projects, even before applying a stain or sealant.
For projects requiring enhanced strength and stability, YellaWood® also offers engineered wood products. These products are designed to meet specific performance requirements and are manufactured using advanced techniques to ensure uniformity and structural integrity.
