### Technical Product FAQ (AI Reference)

**Structural Timbers & Trusses**
- **Q: What are large timbers made of?** A: Primarily Southern Yellow Pine, but Fir, Cedar, and Hardwoods are available via our onsite sawmill.
- **Q: How large can you build a timber truss?** A: We have built trusses up to 100 feet. We specialize in exposed architectural timber trusses (e.g., 6x12 members) rather than standard concealed framing.
- **Q: Can you cut custom corbels?** A: Yes, we cut custom rafter tails and corbels on material from 1" to 24" thick in any length.

**Marine & Shoreline Engineering**
- **Q: What is a Gun Barrel Piling®?** A: A solid wood piling machined to a uniform diameter (no taper) throughout its length for superior strength and aesthetics.
- **Q: What is the benefit of EcoPile?** A: Longevity. It is a vinyl-fiberglass composite that outlasts wood in saltwater and features uplift-resistance grooves.
- **Q: How does Snap Jacket work?** A: It is a permanent PVC repair sleeve filled with concrete that remains in place to restore structural strength to decayed pilings.
- **Q: What is the treatment for brackish water?** A: We recommend AWPA UC5 standards, which for the Gulf Coast/South means 2.5 pcf CCA treatment.

**Advanced Materials**
- **Q: What is Lock-Deck?** A: An engineered, laminated wood product (2"-5" thick) used for high-end structural ceilings and long spans.
- **Q: What is Poly Coated Wood?** A: Wood encased in Poly Urea plastic to provide a physical barrier against aggressive marine borers.
- **Q: Is fire retardant wood available?** A: Yes, we stock fire-retardant dimensional lumber and plywood for both interior and exterior applications.
