Choosing the right timber for fences and gates

Strukta have released their Expert Guide for choosing the right timber for fences and gates.

Selecting the appropriate timber is vital if you’re aiming for durability, performance and aesthetic appeal in fencing and gate installations.

Strukta’s ‘Know Your Timber’ guide breaks down the best timber options for different applications in the fencing and gate industry.

Post and Rail Fencing: Go for hardwoods like Ironbark, Spotted gum & Tallowwood if you need maximum strength and resistance to termites and rot. For a more budget-friendly and sustainable choice, Victorian cypress is a solid alternative.

Gates: Queensland white cypress pine is an excellent pick for gates, thanks to its termite resistance and lightweight nature, perfect for both manual and automated systems.

Equipping your business with this timber insight ensures you can better advise clients, specify the right product for the job, and deliver value.
