Comparing Our Timber Range

We offer four main types of timber in this category:

Larch – Naturally resinous and durable, larch is resistant to decay and insect attack. Its golden tones and visible grain make it a popular choice for cladding and garden features. With minimal maintenance, it weathers to an attractive silver-grey over time.
Cedar – Known for its stability and weather resistance, cedar combines light weight with natural strength. Its warm tones and fine grain give it an architectural quality, making it ideal for external cladding, fencing, and contemporary outdoor designs.
Treated Softwood – A cost-effective alternative to premium species. Pressure-treated timber protects against rot, moisture, and insects, making it a practical solution for decking, fencing, and structural use. Treated softwood can also be stained or painted for custom finishes.
Vac-Vac Treated Timber – Timber that has undergone a specialist vacuum and pressure process to enhance protection while retaining a clean, lighter appearance. This treatment makes it suitable for exposed applications while still being easy to work with and finish.

Practical Uses and Maintenance

These timbers can be used across a wide range of exterior applications:

Cladding for residential or commercial properties.
Decking and fencing for outdoor structures.
Raised beds, edging, and landscaping features.
Bespoke projects such as garden furniture or screening.

To preserve colour and extend lifespan, applying UV oil or a timber treatment is recommended, particularly for larch and cedar. Treated softwoods generally require less maintenance but still benefit from annual checks and care.
