ProWood, a leading manufacturer of pressure-treated lumber and part of UFP Industries, Inc., is expanding availability of TrueFrame Joist. Previously available in Colorado, TrueFrame Joist is now available across Great Lakes and Midwest States.
TrueFrame Joist is built to deliver consistently straight, stable performance, helping deck builders reduce jobsite variability and achieve predictable results build after build.
“Much of the deck framing process involves managing variability,” said Luke Snyder, product manager at ProWood. “TrueFrame Joist reduces that variability so crews can move faster and install with greater confidence and predictability.”
Each TrueFrame Joist is manufactured from #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine, infused with proprietary next-generation stabilizer additive, kiln-dried after treatment (KDAT) for improved stability and easier handling, and factory-planed to within 1/16" for flat edges and consistent sizing.
TrueFrame Joist is:
- Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Manufactured to meet UC4A Ground Contact standards
- Available in nominal 2 x 8"-, 2 x 10"-, and 2 x 12" lengths of 12, 14, 16, and 20 ft. (Actual sizes: 1-1/2 x 7", 1-1/2 x 9", and 1-1/2 x 11")
- Color-infused for lasting beauty with no staining or sealing required at installation
“TrueFrame Joist bridges the gap between traditional treated lumber and other framing alternatives,” said Ashley VanderWall, brand marketing manager at ProWood. “It’s a practical solution for quality-focused deck builders who want elevated performance without an over-engineered substructure.”
Jonathan Moeller, owner of Colorado Custom Covers and Decks, was an early TrueFrame Joist adopter and says the product is changing the pressure-treated industry.
“Uneven ground is common for many of the decks we build, so creating a safe, level substructure can take a lot of time on the jobsite,” Moeller said. “TrueFrame Joist is durable and makes framing easier, lighter, and faster.”
