lumber yard

Plank retail site

A lumber yard is a business that stores and sells wood—boards, plywood, posts, and other building materials.

Contractors and homeowners visit lumber yards to purchase materials for construction projects: I need to stop by the lumber yard for some two-by-fours.

Also spelled as one word: lumberyard.
