Understanding the Wood Types:
Our reclaimed barn wood shelves come in three distinct styles, each with its own character and thickness:
- Barn Beam – Nominal 3″ thick: Cut from the structural beams of old barns, these shelves are bold, chunky, and full of rugged charm. Ideal for making a strong visual statement.
- Barn Joist – Nominal 2.5″ thick: Sourced from supporting joists, these shelves offer a balance of heft and refinement, with plenty of natural character and a slightly slimmer profile than beams.
- Barn Plank – Nominal 2″ thick: Milled from the barn’s flooring or wall planks, these shelves have a more streamlined profile while still showcasing authentic weathering and rustic details.
