Forest Products Journal (FPJ) is the source of information for industry leaders, researchers, teachers, students, and everyone interested in today's forest products industry. FPJ remains well respected for publishing high-quality peer-reviewed technical research findings at the applied or practical level that reflect the current state of wood science and technology. While the third quarter 2019 publication is nearing completion, both 2019 FPJs, 69(1) and 69(2), are now available online. Visit forestprodjournals.org to access content.

With the launch of LP Elements Performance engineered wood fencing, LP Building Solutions has made its first move into the fencing market, and its third product launch so far in 2019. The LP Elements fencing comes in six-inch by six-foot picket posts, with a dog-ear design that is made and tested to resist hail, wind impacts, winds up to and over 200 mph, Exposure D and humid temperatures. The wood does not bend, warp or twist, according to the manufacturer, and a proprietary zinc borate-based process provides additional resistance against termites.

Sidewalk Labs, in collaboration with design firms Snøhetta, Michael Green Architecture (MGA) and Heatherwick Studio, is proposing a $1.3 billion master plan set to turn a portion of Toronto’s industrial waterfront into a smart, digitally connected city prototype that would use engineered wood as the primary building material. If successful, it will be the first neighborhood constructed entirely from mass timber, with Sidewalk Labs calling for all buildings in its plan to be built with the naturally renewable, environmentally sustainable material.
