lumberyard
Planks sold here
A lumberyard is a place where lumber—boards, planks, beams, and other cut wood—is stored and sold.
Contractors, carpenters, and homeowners visit lumberyards for building materials: I picked up some two-by-fours at the lumberyard.
Larger operations may also stock plywood, hardware, and other construction supplies.
