FAQ

What timber can be used outside?

As a general rule of thumb, any timber (or wood for that matter) can be used for outdoor furniture or other applications. The harder the wood, the better it will weather. For example, wood from a fruit tree (i.e. cherry, peach, apple etc.) will work out very well, whereas wood from a conifer (i.e. pine) might not work so well. The reason is because softwoods (conifers) are naturally very resinous and prone to cracking. This is especially true if the wood is not treated.
