General Timber

At General Timber, we believe in the timeless beauty and strength of wood, and we're dedicated to crafting high-quality fencing solutions that endure. It's a philosophy rooted in tradition and years of expertise, passed down through generations. Our journey began with Joe Dowdy, who founded General Timber in the late 1970s. Clement Williams, who honed his skills in wood handling with his father's sawmill, joined the company as a supplier but eventually took the reins, turning it into the successful enterprise it is today alongside his brother, Art.

For over four decades, General Timber has been the go-to choice for horse fencing, board fencing, and various other solutions for agricultural and equestrian needs. We operate with an unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Our roots are firmly planted in a family-oriented work ethic that emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience and attention to detail. It's this dedication that allows us to consistently deliver exceptional products and services.

Located on a sprawling 20-acre site in Sanford, North Carolina, our state-of-the-art facility houses a dedicated team of professionals who share our passion for woodworking and customer service. Each member of our team plays a vital role in ensuring that every project meets our high standards.
