Marine Lumber
Need marine or dimensional lumber in Louisiana? Manning Lumber stays true to its name and has A LOT of lumber in stock. From residential marine projects to large, commercial marine structures, we can supply you with the materials you need. Marine lumber is specially treated to stand up to the harsh marine environment we see here in the New Orleans area. Salt and brackish water can cause rapid damage to wood that is not specifically meant for in-water or near the water use, especially the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

Next to wood pilings and piles, dimensional lumber is our most popular product. Manning Lumber stocks all sizes of dimensional wood. Stop by to load your truck up with dimensional wood or call us to schedule a delivery.
