Beadles Lumber Company

Located in the heart of the Longleaf and Slash rich Coastal Plain, Beadles Lumber Company produces some of the finest Southern Yellow Pine lumber in the country.  A large percentage of this timber is extremely dense and straight grain offering high strength characteristics for truss quality.  For years Beadles Lumber Company has sought the best way to further utilize this vastly superior lumber.  MSR  (Machine Stress-Rated) has proven to be the answer.

“We wanted to offer an advantage to truss manufacturers,” says CEO Victor Beadles.  Each piece of lumber produced by Beadles Lumber Company passes through an x-ray lumber machine and is nondestructively measured for strength characteristics.  Then it must pass a strict #1 and better visual grade.  Next, rigid and documented quality tests are performed daily and closely monitored by the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau.

MSR lumber can be expected to meet design requirements with greater confidence and predictability.  MSR also carried a lower COV (coefficient of variation) than either MEL or visual grades, therefore has a greater degree of uniformity between pieces.  Longer spans and more cost effectiveness are the results.

Beadles Lumber Company proposed from the start to put up a product that was not just on grade, but 100% usable by the customer.  “Our customer base is sixty retail dealers, so we have always put up a low wane and straight product line coupled with fast delivery,” says Sales Manager Joe Castleberry.  Running only one shift allows even closer monitoring by graders, quality control personnel, and management.  All sales and shipping are handled on site making for immediate response time to needs or questions of the customer.

The Beadles Lumber team is determined to be the “asked for” supplier of the highest quality MSR lumber combined with the best service in the industry.
