The timber we use.
Here at the Picket Fence Company, we only use one type of timber, handpicked Redwood, FCS approved. Many manufactures use whitewood which is a cheaper lower grade.
Redwood is the gold standard when it comes to creating outdoor wooden furniture that is designed to last. Redwood is naturally resistant to moisture. It also looks incredible and feels super smooth.
Although Scandinavian Redwood is a softwood, it remains one of the toughest materials used in the construction of quality garden furniture and fencing as its one of the most stable timbers to use externally.
Left untreated the timber will gradually blacken, this is the natural acids coming out of the timber to protect itself. After time this will disappear, and the timber will go a grey/silver colour, if you wish to preserve the rich cinnamon coloured grain and the natural timber colour, we recommend you use a good quality clear coat such as Osmo and Sadolin.
Our grade is the highest grade of redwood. We try to always source the grade that has the lowest knot, this grade of timber may contain a amount of knots, but Is kept to minimum wherever possible and it won't contain knots that will fall out.
Here's a real image of timber in the shop. showing knot content, please note all redwood contains knots, we keep this to a minimum wherever possible.
If you have any other questions about the timber we use please just get in touch.
