Timber Framing
Recommended Woods:
Larch and Douglas Fir are both renowned for their natural durability. We encourage our customers to prioritise Douglas Fir for framing, this is due to its strength and stability. Especially if your Douglas if is by cladding or roofing, the timber will remain good and solid for decades to come.
Douglas firs timber structure also allows you to cut nice neat joints, Larch on the other hand is very fibrous which can lead to tear out around cuts and joints.
Larch is overall more durable however, so if your structure is going to really feel the elements then we would recommend Larch.
Tip: Pooling water will decay any timbers, Larch/ Douglas Fir or even treated wood. It is essential that you reduce this as much as possible to ensure the longevity of your timber.

Locally Sourced
All of our timber is sourced locally. Ask upon ordering your timber to see where the trees originated from.
Sustainably Produced
Our production is based on a local timber market model. We buy in timber, and sell sawn produce locally to reduce haulage. A local timber market allows the money you invest in our timber to go back into woodlands around you.
