Best Answer

Pine is an inexpensive, abundant, renewable resource. Virtually all the pine used in construction is grown specifically for that purpose. (In the southern U.S. alone, over one billion pine seedlings are planted every year.) Pine has sufficient strength for residential frame construction, but is a soft wood, so it is easy to cut and fasteners can be driven into it easily.
