Hem-fir is a species combination of Western Hemlock and true firs.
Possessing a lower density, hemlock/fir is easily pressure-treated with preservatives and is available in structural, appearance, and remanufacturing grades.
Building with hemlock
Pressure treated lumber like hemlock/fir is ideal for decking and in constructing outdoor amenities. While less dense than other species combinations, hemlock/fir is well-suited for load-bearing requirements of residential and light commercial construction. Due to the fact it resists warping and twisting, hemlock is also often used for moldings and trim.
