Wood is one of the most commonly used materials for domestic fencing needs and industrial pallet needs. The popularity of wood is due to the wide range of advantages it imparts.

The wood used in fencing is entirely different from the one used for pellets. Fencing requires more sturdiness and resilience properties than a pallet needs. 

Since the fence is always exposed to harsh climatic conditions, the durability of fencing wood is of the highest priority. 

There are different grades of wood that can be used in fencing and pallets. Distributors in Quebec like Spec have both high-grade and low-grade wood. A Spec Wood spf low grade material is a popular choice in fencing and pallets.

Let’s discuss the main types of wood that are used in fences. 

• Cedar is the most popular species of wood used in fencing. It has many properties that make it a popular choice in fencing. Cedar wood is a natural insect repellent property, it has a great appearance, and it is lightweight too.
• Spruce is another major species of wood that is used in fencing. Its inexpensive nature and ability to be painted upon easily makes it a good choice in fencing. However, spruce tends to damage more easily than cedar. When exposed to harsh climatic conditions like heavy rain and snow, spruce will warp.
• Pine is another material used in making fences. It is lightweight and easy to work with and has high resistance to shrinkage.
• Cypress is also used as an alternative to cedar due to its inexpensiveness and insect resistance.

Now, let’s discuss the types of wood used in pallets. Before that, you need to understand some facts about pallet wood as opposed to the general belief.

• Pallets are not made from scrap wood. The quality of wood used is as high as your room furniture.
• The wooden pallets are highly safe and secure to work with. The chemical treatments are done to make it as reliable as any other material used.

The types of wood species used in making pallets are:

• The southern yellow pine
• Oak (most commonly used softwood)
• Spruce (most commonly used type)
• Aspen
• Hardwood like ash, beech, etc.

Summing up:

Of the above-mentioned species, the most popular one is spruce and hardwood. The pallets come in pre-cut format for ease of handling and maintenance. 

Companies like Spec use a highly reliable mill-to-customer strategy which gives them the upper hand in the wood distribution in the Quebec region.
