Impregnated Timber
Impregnated Timber
Pine timber protected to the core against rain, frost and insects, ready for outdoors.
- Method
- Vacuum-pressure
- Paint and varnish
- Possible once dry
Pine is an easily worked and durable wood, but left outdoors without protection it is open to fungi and insects. Impregnation closes this one weakness of pine. In the vacuum-pressure method the preservative travels into the cells of the wood, so even if the surface wears or cracks, the inside stays protected.
We treat the timber after sawing it to the size it will be used in. It can be used in every outdoor structure, such as garden path edges, raised vegetable beds, arbours, pergolas, coops, barns and sheds. Once it has finished drying after treatment, the wood can be painted or varnished.
How to tell rot resistant timber
Rot resistant timber shows the colour of the preservative inside as well when it is cut. Timber whose surface has only been coated stays the natural wood colour inside when cut. This simple check is the easiest way to see whether the protection has worked its way in.
Knowing where the timber will be used helps set the level of protection it needs; parts set into the ground need the highest. If you note in the list whether a piece will touch the ground, we will also suggest the right thickness.
Areas of use
Garden path edges, vegetable beds, arbours and pergolas, coops, barns and sheds.

Frequently asked questions
How long does treated wood last?
It depends on the conditions of use. Untreated pine in contact with the ground starts to rot within a few years, while pine treated by vacuum and pressure can serve for decades under the same conditions. Protecting cut ends and keeping water from collecting at the foot of the wood do the most to extend its life.
Can I paint treated wood?
Yes. It is enough to wait for the wood to dry after treatment; the dry surface takes paint, varnish or wood oil. Paint does not replace the treatment, but it protects the surface from the sun and lets you choose the colour you like.
