Wood faces a different set of issues and elements when it is outside - wind, rain, UV light, extreme temperature changes, frosts, flora and fauna. To give a long lasting life to wood therefore requires a different set of nutrients and protection. Conventional treatments focus on man-made petro-chemical based toxins to give this protection, however there are natural alternatives and is is these that the sustainable wood industry has focused. Many natural materials provide the wood with the protection it needs, however not all of these are kind to animals, so care still has to be taken when applying some natural wood preservers (especially around water courses). We feel that within our range we can provide you with these natural products and also those that are totally safe to use around wildlife.
