As a tree grows, it removes and stores carbon dioxide from the air, helping reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere. Harvesting and using the timber locks away carbon and prevents its release back into the atmosphere. Replanting the forests continues the cycle of removal and storage.

A stylish pergola can enable your deck to become an extension of your in-door living space. GLUE LAMINATED POSTS Although more expensive, laminated posts are stronger and stay straighter than solid wood posts. They are available in a number of different lengths and can be purchased natural or pre-primed.

The posts are treated to H4 or 5 and are very strong and durable.

PROTECT YOUR TIMBER DECK 7 REASONS TO CHOOSE CD50 EXTREME TIMBER OIL PROTECTION OIL THAT MAKES YOUR DECK LAST LONGER CD50 Extreme is the timber protection of choice when it comes to harsh conditions CD50 Extreme is ideal for decks, outdoor furniture, thick timber (logs, posts, beams, slabs) and extreme situations (high humidity, dampness). 1. Penetrates deep inside the timber – protects from the inside out. 2. Stabilises timber – helps stop warping, splitting and twisting. 3. Is not a film – does not peel or flake. 4. Helps control mould and fungus and the bacteria that cause rot. 5. Enhances the character of the timber – doesn’t cover it up. 6. Easy to use and maintain – just wash and re-apply. 7. Use clear (to silver naturally) or with one of the vibrant colour tones. 15 PAVING - FIRTH DESIGNER SERIES The Firth Designer Series is an inspiring residential paving range created especially for consumers seeking a high-end look and feel, supported with the highest quality in dry cast paving.

TIMBER SELECTION GUIDE CONSUMER INFORMATION AND HANDLING GUIDE FOR CCA PRESSURE TREATED TIMBER The Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) preservative used to treat outdoor radiata pine reacts with the wood to form chemical complexes that are highly insoluble and leach resistant. The CCA preservative penetrates deeply into and will remain in the wood for a long period of time. However, some preservative may migrate from the preserved wood into surrounding soil over time and there may also be incidental contact with skin during construction or use.

Using a 9L bucket, turn each tap on full then time how many seconds it takes to fill the bucket. 9 LITRE BUCKET × 60 SECONDS ÷ 17 SECONDS TO FILL = 31.7 LITRES PER MINUTE Allowing for a 10% safety margin this capacity would end up being 28.5L per minute able to use on any one line at one time.

Scale – Use a larger scale e.g. one square equals a 0.5M x 0.5M area if you are designing your whole backyard or a smaller scale e.g. one square equals a 0.2M x 0.2M if you are focusing on one part of your section. 2. Draw in the buildings and permanent structures first. 3. Note on the drawing where North is so that the direction of natural occurrence like sunlight, shade, drainage and the prevailing winds can be noted. 4. Make plenty of notes on subjects such as: What will the area be used for (playing, relaxing, gardening)? What features do you want to highlight or hide? 5.
