• Additionally, timber production often has a lower carbon footprint compared to other building materials. Lastly, timber is biodegradable and can be recycled or repurposed. 

Protecting timber from pests and decay is essential to ensure its longevity. Proper timber treatment, such as applying preservatives, can safeguard against insect infestation and fungal decay. Additionally, regular maintenance, including sealing, staining, or painting, creates a protective barrier and enhances timber’s durability. If you are looking for additional advice, our team can provide expert advice on timber protection methods suitable for your timber materials. 

Yes, timber can be used in a wide range of outdoor applications. However, it is important to select the right timber species and apply suitable treatments to enhance its durability and resistance to weathering. Hardwood species like spotted gum are often preferred for their natural resistance to decay and insect attacks. Similarly, proper maintenance, including regular cleaning, sealing, and reapplication of protective coatings, is essential to ensure the longevity of timber in outdoor environments. We can assist you in choosing the appropriate timber and maintenance practices for your specific outdoor application.
