Timber For Carports

When selecting timber supplies, it’s important that you purchase the right species for the job. We stock the most popular and reliable timber range available.

If you’re unsure of the best timber for the job, give us a ring and talk to the experts.

Pine

Clear treated pine provides the same excellent colour and performance as treated pine decking but without the presence of knots or the greenish hue of CCA treatment that can cause discoloration. It has a density rating of 550, a toughness rating of L and a durability class of 1, with colour variations ranging from pale straw to yellow. It is highly popular and affordable, being one of our best selling decking options. This decking material is known for its exceptional stain-taking ability, sturdiness and durability.

Kapur

Kapur, a hardwood decking board, is imported from Indonesia. It is a DAR board, with slightly rounded corners on all four sides. Kapur boasts a density rating of 750, a toughness rating of M and a durability class of 2, making it suitable for above ground use. It has a WPR colour profile, which typically appears as a light reddish-brown hue with a slight paleness. Kapur is an excellent value decking board that delivers optimal performance, showcasing a beautiful grain pattern and colour.

Ironbark

Ironbark, an Australian Eucalypt hardwood selectively sourced from NSW and QLD, produces highly durable decking boards. These boards are DAR products with a density rating of 1100, a toughness rating of H and a durability class of 1.
