Low-maintenance boundaries – thanks to press treated slow-grown redwood
Press treatment drives preservative into the timber structure, reducing susceptibility to rot and insect attack, while planing removes rough fibres for a smoother surface. Slow-grown joinery-grade redwood typically has tighter grain, improving stability.
Reduced maintenance requirements mean repainting or staining can be deferred, making the pales suitable for busy gardens and longer service life.
Faster, neater installation – with standardised 5ft height and uniform 7.5cm width
Consistent dimensions and square-edge finish ensure pales align cleanly on rails with minimal trimming, while rounded tops are pre-formed for even spacing across runs.
Quicker alignment and fewer on-site adjustments speed up DIY and trade installations, keeping labour time down on longer boundaries.
Sustainable sourcing and fine finish – with FSC and PEFC certification
FSC and PEFC certificates confirm chain-of-custody for the softwood, indicating adherence to recognised forestry standards. The smooth planed finish also accepts paint or stain uniformly.
Confidence in timber provenance and a ready-to-finish surface suit projects where appearance and responsible sourcing matter.
