Australian Wood for your backyard Timber projects

Consider Australian species for your next backyard project

The autumn months continue to be a key period for home renovations, with the Easter long weekend prime time for making home improvements.

Whether carrying out an extensive landscaping project or adding a new feature to the garden, timber offers homeowners a versatile building product, which can be easily adapted for an array of applications such as screens, fences, decks and bench seating.

When it comes to selecting the type of decking product to use, consider the benefits of Australian species, which are in excellent supply.

Available in a spectrum of colours, native species are ideally suited to Australias weather conditions and species such as Blackbutt and Tallowwood are as hard, if not harder, and more durable than imported species.

Many Australian species are naturally termite resistant and Blackbutt and Spotted Gum offer fire retardant properties, making them particularly suitable for bushfire prone areas.

Buying locally grown and manufactured timber also means that a new deck will have a smaller carbon footprint than if the product was transported from abroad.
