Connecting Your Business to the Marketplace
From humble beginnings, Great Southern Wood has enjoyed
phenomenal growth based on the reputation it has earned for
producing superior pressure-treated pine building products. Great
Southern Wood serves the southern United States with seven
full-service plants and five production facilities. Serving hundreds
of retailers across the region from multiple locations takes
sophisticated planning, coordination and flexibility.
CenturyTel provides Great Southern Wood with a variety of
advanced communications services that enable high-speed, high-
bandwidth data transmission. With dedicated-facility access for long
distance and Metro Ethernet services, Great Southern Wood can

and builders not only have access to superior pressure-treated pine
building products, they are available at the right time, in the right
place and at an affordable price.
