What Customers Are Saying
The 2x2x8 furring strips are a mixed bag in terms of quality. While some customers found the boards to be straight and of good quality, especially when hand-selecting them in the store, many reported inconsistent quality, with a significant portion being warped, twisted, or unusable. The price was generally seen as reasonable, but the quality seems to have declined over time, with more lower-grade lumber being sold. Customers advise thoroughly inspecting the boards before purchase and being prepared to return any unusable pieces, as the experience can vary significantly by location and individual batch.

Perfect for making a trellis
Going to be growing butternut squash up a trellis this summer, so I wanted to make something sturdy. This will work well. Ordered online and Lowe’s had my bundle ready to go.

quality change
Would Not RecommendI am extremely disappointed in the quality change of both 2x2 and 1x2 material available. Prior to last month or so the material was usable. This new stuff is garbage and I am forced to go to the competition for my material.
