Douglas Fir Structural Timber by the m³ – Solid Wood Custom Sawing, Quote on Request

This listing allows you to purchase solid Douglas fir structural timber by the cubic metre, sourced directly from forests in the Massif Central. Unlike individual rafters and posts sold in standard sections, this offer is intended for projects requiring large volumes or specific sections not available in the catalogue. The price is set per m³ and sawing is carried out to your dimensions.

Douglas fir from the Massif Central is a structural timber recognised for its high mechanical properties — bending resistance, moderate density (500–550 kg/m³), and natural durability (class 3). It comes from sustainably managed forests and is one of the most widely used species for traditional and contemporary roof framing in France.

Key points

  • Massif Central Douglas fir — benchmark French structural species
  • Natural class 3 — durability without mandatory treatment for above-ground timber framing
  • Custom sawing — sections and lengths to your specifications
  • Sold by the m³ — suited to large-volume projects
  • Quote only — price and availability subject to volume and dimensions requested

For which project?

This offer by the m³ is suited to projects requiring large quantities — house roof framing, barn, agricultural shed, extension, large-span pergola — or sections not available in the catalogue (rafters> 60mm, principal rafters, purlins, wall plates). For small volumes with standard sections (60x40mm, 60x80mm), individual rafters are more appropriate.

How to order?

Purchasing structural timber by the m³ is not available directly online. Prepare your cutting list (sections, lengths, and quantities) and contact WoodUp through one of the channels below. A quote will be sent to you with the price per m³, sawing lead times, and delivery conditions based on your volume and location.

WoodUp tip

For a structural timber quote by the m³, prepare your complete cutting list before contacting us: sections, lengths, and quantities for each piece. A precise cutting list avoids surplus and reduces transport costs. For further guidance on sizing, consult the timber framing guide.

Please note before purchasing: Solid raw Douglas fir may show colour variations between pieces from different batches — this is a natural characteristic of the wood and has no effect on its mechanical properties.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order quantity for structural timber by the m³?

There is no fixed minimum volume — contact WoodUp specifying your sections and lengths. Orders from 1 to 2 m³ can generally be processed. For small volumes, individual rafters in standard sections are often more suitable and immediately available.

Is the Douglas fir sold by the m³ the same wood as the individual rafters?

Yes — same Douglas fir from the Massif Central. The difference lies in the packaging and flexibility: individual rafters are available in fixed sections (60x40mm and 60x80mm) and standard lengths (200 and 240 cm). The timber by the m³ allows you to order custom sections and lengths according to your specifications.

What is the lead time for a custom-sawn timber order?

The lead time depends on the volume, the sections requested, and the sawmill schedule. Generally allow 2 to 4 weeks for standard custom sawing. Please specify your required deadline when requesting a quote so that WoodUp can confirm feasibility.

Is delivery included in the price per m³?

No. Transport of structural timber in bulk is calculated separately based on weight, volume, and delivery distance. It is carried out by flatbed lorry or crane lorry depending on the site configuration. Please specify your delivery address and access constraints when requesting a quote.

Can we obtain pressure-treated Douglas fir for ground-contact use?

Untreated Douglas fir is class 3 — it is suitable for above-ground structural timber with no soil contact. For pieces in direct contact with the ground or standing water (buried posts, thresholds), a class 4 treatment (pressure treatment or vacuum impregnation) is required. Please mention this when requesting a quote.
