ProWood Launches TrueFrame Joist: Precision Framing for Pros, Backed for Life

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ProWood, a leader in premium pressure-treated lumber, announces the launch of TrueFrame™ Joist, the performance-driven deck framing solution engineered for professional builders who demand precision, stability, and efficiency on every job.

"TrueFrame allows contractors to spend less time culling boards and planing down joists on the jobsite and more time building," said Grace Bilbrough, Director of Marketing at ProWood. "It's lighter than LVL or steel and built for dependable performance in substructure, the foundation to many outdoor projects."

Available in 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 in lengths of 12, 14, 16, and 20 feet, TrueFrame Joists deliver optimal spans and consistent sizing for dependable framing that exceeds expectations. Under wet-use conditions (40 PSF live load + 10 PSF dead load, L/360), TrueFrame spans up to 20 7" for 2x12 at 12" OC, outperforming typical framing materials while reducing callbacks and jobsite headaches.

TrueFrame Joists feature ProWood's new enhanced preservation treatment with proprietary additives, ensuring less checking, greater stability, and straighter boards. Treated to meet UC4A Ground Contact standards, TrueFrame delivers unmatched durability in substructure applications, while color infusion ensures lasting beauty for projects demanding visible framing. Each joist is factory-planed within 1/16" for flat edges and uniform sizing, ensuring a straight, stable installation that saves time, reduces waste, and delivers exceptional end results.

"What sets ProWood TrueFrame apart is the precision. With KDAT and pre-planed boards, the joists install cleanly and consistently, cutting days off the framing process," says pro builder Jonathan Moeller of Colorado Custom Covers & Decks. "It's engineered for efficiency and gives me confidence the frame will stay true and stable over time."

Additionally, this new product is covered by ProWood's Limited Lifetime Warranty, providing builders and their clients with peace of mind and confidence in the framing that supports every deck, porch, or outdoor living space.

The TrueFrame Joist is now available through ProWood dealers in the Denver Metro area and is coming to new markets throughout the Great Lakes and Northeastern regions in early 2026. For span charts, technical details, and dealer locations, visit https://www.prowood.com/c/trueframe-joist.
