Long-lasting protection - thanks to press treated timber and 15-year Treat-Right Guarantee
Press treated timber receives a preservative under pressure so the treatment penetrates the wood to slow decay and deter insect attack. Slow-grown joinery grade redwood offers denser growth, enhancing dimensional stability.
Expect prolonged service life and reduced maintenance compared with untreated pales, backed by the 15-year Treat-Right Guarantee for added confidence.
Neat, consistent appearance - with planed smooth surface and rounded top
Planing removes surface roughness and machining produces a uniform rounded top and square edge on each pale for consistent dimensions. Uniform pales make spacing and alignment more predictable during installation.
A tidier finish makes layout faster and gives a cleaner look across the fence run, useful for visible front borders and entrances.
Responsible sourcing assurance - with FSC and PEFC certification
FSC and PEFC certificates denote independently audited chains of custody, confirming that sourcing and timber handling meet recognised sustainability standards. Certification applies to the timber supplied for the pales.
Suitable for gardeners wanting certified materials, offering reassurance about forestry practices without sacrificing practical performance.
