Impregnated Timber

Wood used in a garden, vineyard or barn meets a different challenge in every season: rain in spring, sun in summer, frost in winter. In this cycle untreated wood first changes colour, then softens and finally rots. Impregnated timber delays this process for years.

We first saw the timber to the size it will be used in, then impregnate it under vacuum and pressure. It is the choice for pergolas, arbours, garden borders, raised vegetable beds, coops and barns. For pieces set directly into the ground we recommend choosing a thicker section.

What can be built with outdoor treated wood?

Outdoor treated wood is the material of almost every job in a garden: flower bed edges, garden steps, path borders, log stores, tool sheds, coops and barn partitions. What these structures share is that they take rain and soil directly. Built of untreated wood, they need renewing within a few years.

Getting treated wood already sawn to your sizes reduces cutting on site and leaves no unprotected face. For parts that are walked on, such as steps and path edges, we recommend a thicker section. Once dry, you can bring it to the colour you like with paint or wood oil.
