ProWood Expands TrueFrame Joist Availability to Northeast and South Atlantic Regions

ProWood Expands TrueFrame Joist Availability

ProWood®, a prominent name in the pressure-treated lumber industry and part of UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), continues to innovate with the addition of its TrueFrame™ Joist to a broader U.S. market. As of May 21, 2026, this product is now available for builders in the Northeast and South Atlantic, expanding its reach beyond the original markets of Colorado and the Great Lakes region.

What Makes TrueFrame Joist Unique?

The TrueFrame Joist is distinguished by its commitment to offering stable and reliable performance, which is essential for deck builders aiming for consistency on the job site. The joists are manufactured from #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine, enhanced with a proprietary stabilizer additive, and are kiln-dried after treatment (KDAT) for improved stability. Each joist is factory-planed for precision, ensuring flat edges and consistent sizing, which allows builders to reduce variability during framing.

Luke Snyder, the product manager at ProWood, emphasizes the product's advantage: “TrueFrame Joist reduces the variability inherent in the deck framing process, so crews can move faster and install with greater confidence and predictability.” This innovation is designed specifically to streamline the installation process, allowing for quicker project completion.

A Practical Solution for Builders

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, TrueFrame Joist meets UC4A Ground Contact standards, giving builders peace of mind. Available in nominal sizes of 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 inches, these joists come in lengths from 12 to 20 feet. The product’s unique color infusion ensures that there’s no need for staining or sealing during installation, which enhances its appeal to contractors focused on efficiency.

Ashley VanderWall, brand marketing manager at ProWood, describes TrueFrame Joist as a game changer for deck builders: “It's a practical solution for quality-focused builders who want elevated performance without over-engineering their substructures.” This positions TrueFrame as a modern alternative in a market filled with traditional framing materials.

Builder's Perspective

Industry professionals, like Sean Collinsgru, owner of Premier Outdoor Living in New Jersey, have already started incorporating TrueFrame Joist into their projects. “I chose TrueFrame Joist for my latest decking endeavor,” he states. “The product's lightweight nature and consistent sizing made the framing process significantly easier and faster for my crew. I plan to implement it in all my 2026 projects.”

Collinsgru reflects on the market trend towards alternative framing options, noting how ProWood has effectively improved traditional materials in an innovative way. “There's been so much talk about alternatives in recent years. ProWood took a sustainable and economic material and made it even better.”
