Karri landscape timber

 

Karri eucalyptus species is an ideal choice for landscape grade timber. 

Free from all chemical preservatives, Karri offers exceptional in-ground and above ground life in normal exterior situations.

 

 

Karri timber side

"Landscape" grade, green off saw (GOS) timber may contain some knot holes, gum pockets, gum veins, borer holes, surface cracking etc. but this will not affect the performance of the timber for landscaping applications.
Some small surface cracking and end splitting may also occur if the timber is exposed to extreme weather conditions at the time of installation.

 

 

Like most timber, Karri gradually weathers to a soft grey when exposed to the sun and rain. This may take from 3 to 12 months depending on weather conditions and the degree of exposure to the elements.
