We LOVE offering Diamond Pier to folks building decks in northern Wisconsin. Having the ability to start framing the SAME DAY you get these installed is huge especially with so many folks building in Clay in the spring time. No problem for Diamond Piers!

Open Monday - Friday: 7:30am - 5:00pm

One of the most important decisions made in the construction of any project is its choice of footings.

Buying framing lumber at Carlson Building Supplies, rest assured that our wood is ALWAYS kept out of the rain as we store our full units out of the sun and rain, and our bins for loading is easily accessible through Warehouse 3, located in the Main Yard. There you'll also find our brown treated, which all the 2-by material is KDAT, Kiln Dried After Treatment from Northern Crossarm Company. Its lighter & more stable than wet green treated like our competitors.

We are always culling twisted boards to make sure our customers always have the best material to choose from.

Open Monday - Friday: 7:30am - 5:00pm, and we delivery every day we're open!
