Timbers:

Designers have long been aware that the adaptability and applications of treated wood products are virtually unlimited. With our specialized production facilities, we can fabricate structural timbers to the engineer’s precise specifications including daps, dressing, pre-drilling and counter sinking for hardware. Regardless of whether the project is on the land or in the marine environment, pressure treated timbers are the ideal material. They are strong and resilient, protected against decay and marine organisms, cost effective and virtually maintenance free.
