A very durable timber, cypress pine is ideal for playgrounds and renowned for its natural resistance to termite attack. This means it needs no further chemical treatment. It is sourced from PEFC/AFS-certified forests. Cypress pine is structurally rated as F7, so it can be used where structural timber is required.
Off the shelf, cypress pine is sawn-finished, but it can be dressed to order.
Note: After dressing, the timber surface checks more, and this is why pre-dressed material comes wrapped in plastic. This helps to slow down the checking process. Painting immediately after dressing also slows down this process.
