Save Money and Help the Planet: Where to Find Used Lumber in Great Falls, MT
What you'll get from this guide: Learn where to buy quality used lumber for 50-80% less than new materials while supporting your community and reducing waste.
Why Buy Used Lumber?
You'll save hundreds of dollars on your next project. A 2x4 that costs $8 new might cost $2-3 used. Plus, you're keeping good wood out of landfills and supporting local causes.
Ordering Larger Quantities
Need lots of specialty wood? Some dealers will ship to Montana:
Reclaimed wood specialists
Barnwood dealers
Architectural salvage companies
Warning: Shipping costs add up fast. Only consider this for special projects or large orders.
How to Buy Smart
Before you buy:
Check for problems - Look for rot, cracks, or bugs
Measure carefully - Bring a tape measure and check if boards are straight
Test moisture - Wet wood can warp as it dries
Ask questions - What type of wood? Where did it come from?
Money-saving tips:
Buy in bulk for better prices
Bring your own truck and loading help
Shop regularly since inventory changes
Negotiate, especially for large purchases
Real example: One local buyer saved $800 on deck boards by checking weekly for two months instead of buying new lumber.
Getting Started
Start simple: Visit the ReStore first to see what's available
Make a list: Know what sizes and types you need
Be flexible: Your project might change based on what you find
Build relationships: Get to know the staff - they'll call when good stuff comes in
Used lumber takes more time to find than buying new, but the savings and environmental benefits make it worth the effort. Start with small projects to learn what to look for, then tackle bigger jobs as you gain experience.
