At American Barn & Wood, we’re proud to offer authentic reclaimed barnwood with all the charm, character, and history that make these materials unique. To help you get the most from your purchase, please review the following important information:

Natural Variation

Reclaimed wood may include color differences, cracks, tapering, wane, nail or mortise holes, insect holes, staining, or livestock chewing. Dimensions may vary and may not match modern lumber sizes. Samples represent general style only. Decorative reclaimed wood is not structurally graded.

Embedded Materials

Hidden nails, metal, or other objects may remain in the wood. These have the potential to damage cutting tools.  Use proper safety gear when cutting or milling.

Painted Wood

Some boards may contain old paint. Paint used before 1978 may include lead. Because the history of each piece is unknown, paint composition cannot be guaranteed. Use caution around children and when sanding or cutting painted material.

Insects, Mold & Fungi

Reclaimed wood may have been exposed to insects, mold, or fungi over many decades. American Barn & Wood provides no warranty against their presence or future development. Treatments such as Bora-Care® or Tim-bor® may help reduce risk.

Cleaning

Boards may carry dust or debris from their time in historic barns. You may wish to clean the lumber before installation or finishing.

Wood Species

Species identification is our best estimate only and is not guaranteed.

Sold As-Is + All Sales Final

All reclaimed wood is sold as-is, with no warranties other than those required by law. 
All sales are final due to the unique nature of our materials.

At the discretion of American Barnwood, purchased items may be stored up to 30 days, free of charge.  After 30 days there is a storage fee of 10% of sales amount per week.
