When it comes to durable, externally rated, and environmentally friendly timber, Cypress Macrocarpa stands out as a top choice. This timber offers a range of benefits that make it both practical and eco-conscious.
Naturally Resistant to Rot—Without Toxic Chemicals
One of the key advantages of Cypress Macrocarpa is its natural rot resistance. Unlike other timbers that require treatment with toxic chemicals or preservatives, Cypress Macrocarpa’s natural properties protect it from decay. This makes it a safer and more environmentally friendly option for outdoor use, especially in gardens and spaces where chemical leaching is a concern.
Sustainably Sourced Timber
We take pride in using sustainably sourced Cypress Macrocarpa. Unlike plantation-grown timber, this wood comes from salvaged or rescued sources, reducing environmental impact and giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste.
Salvaged Timber: This refers to timber sourced from windfall trees, senescent trees, or even logs recovered after clearing windbreaks.
Rescued Timber: Rescued wood is timber saved from low-value outcomes such as burning or ending up in landfills. By reclaiming this wood, we ensure it’s put to good use while minimizing waste.
Our Cypress Macrocarpa is sourced from a family-run mill in Gippsland that sources its timber locally. This approach not only supports local businesses but also helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
