Recycled timber is salvaged from older structures such as large warehouses and port buildings.
Second, recycled timbers can sometimes be found in large sizes and longer lengths because of the spans that were built in the older structures. Third, even after planing, the timbers retain an aged appearance that makes them desirable. On the minus side, the cost of recycled timber is generally higher than green timber due to the labor involved in acquiring the timber. Green timber is the more common type of timber used in cutting timber frame structures. Green timber sizes are available in different species of woods and tend to be less expensive than recycled material.
