When was Boozer Laminated Beam formed?
Boozer Laminated Beam Company began in the 1930’s as Boozer Lumber Company. As glulam became the company’s predominate product, the name was officially changed in 1967 to the current name.

How should BoozerBeams be stored on a yard or jobsite?
Beams should be kept off of the ground using lumber blocking, skids or rack system. The wrapping should be left in place to protect them from moisture, soiling, sunlight, and scratches. If possible, store glulam under cover to protect the beams. For long-term storage: cut slits in the bottom of the wrapping to allow ventilation and drainage of any entrapped moisture.
