• Iconic country-barn look
• Plenty of wall height for shelving

Best for: storage barns, workshops, anything that needs a loft.

Heads-up: green pine shrinks slightly and can develop small surface checks (cracks) as it dries. That's normal — and many customers love the rustic, lived-in look it creates. Best left unstained for the first year.
