Roofing Timber,
Supplied with Confidence.
Since 2024, AK Timbers, owned by Shirajuddin Shaikh, has been supplying quality roofing timber to customers across South Africa. As both a retailer and wholesaler, we provide reliable timber solutions for roofing, construction, and building projects.
One yard, every step —
from log deck to loaded truck.
Most yards buy their stock pre-cut. We don't. AK Timbers runs its own log deck, headrig, dry kilns and planer under one roof outside Wasilla, so every board that leaves here has been graded by someone who watched it get cut.
Own Log Supply
Sourced from certified stands within 90 miles of the mill.
In-House Kilns
Moisture-metered drying to spec before it ever ships.
Product lines, tailored to real job-site specs.
Custom lengths available on request — see the full catalog with dimensional detail.
Four stages, one continuous chain of custody.
Select & Fell
Timber cruisers mark mature stands; harvest follows a managed cutting plan.
Saw & Grade
Logs are broken down on the headrig and graded board-by-board to NLGA rule.
Dry & Plane
Kiln-dried to target moisture content, then surfaced or left rough-sawn.
Bundle & Ship
Banded, tagged by lot, and staged for freight or yard pickup.
Grading you can trust, on every bundle.
Every unit that leaves the yard carries a stamp — species, grade, moisture content — so what shows up on site matches what was ordered. No surprises at the framing stage.
- Third-party graded to NLGA / WWPA standards
- Moisture-tested off every kiln charge
- Sustainably harvested from managed stands
“We've framed four multifamily builds on AK Timbers' dimensional lumber. The grade stamp has never once been optimistic — what's marked is what we get.”
