Visually stress graded, a suitable choice for use in decks and pergolas. Often preferred by builders for its strength, flex and cost qualities. Refer to appropriate span tables for load capacity and spanning ability, these will indicate what end sections can span over a set length, at a specific spacing.

Visually stress graded, F14 & F17 can be used in a vast range of construction applications such as joist and beam construction for decks, patios, and house lintels. Refer to appropriate span tables for load capacity and spanning ability, these will indicate what end sections can span over a set length, at a specific spacing.

F27

Visually stress graded, F27 is suitable for interior (non durable) and exterior (dura 1) structural applications such as bearers, joists, beams, lintels & stairs. Being a DAR appearance grade material F27 is ideal for structural decorative applications like exposed beams and rafters.

Landscape

Landscape Grade is a non-structural grade. Sleepers and posts without a building grade fall into this category and can be used in applications such as garden edges, steps, retaining walls* and raised garden beds.

*Retaining walls (irrespective of height) closer than 1.5 meters to a building, and retaining walls greater than 1 meter high will generally require building approval and certification by an engineer.
