Step 4 - once you are on our quote system, simply complete the form on the right hand and send over your request The process of dip treating softwood involves immersing the wood in a tank or container of wood preservative. The wood is left in the solution for a period of time, typically between 10-15 minutes, to allow the preservative to fully penetrate the wood. The wood is then removed from the solution and left to dry, allowing the preservative to fully soak in. This means the exterior will be covered, but the treatment will not have penetrated deep into the wood.

Pressure-treated or tanalised softwood is a more durable and long-lasting option than untreated wood or dip-treated wood, and requires less maintenance. However, it is important to note that pressure-treated wood can be more expensive than untreated wood or dip-treated wood.

Cost-effective: Many types of wood are an affordable option for garden features and structures, making them accessible to homeowners on a variety of budgets.

One of the advantages of hardwood is its durability and strength. It is less likely to dent or scratch, and it can withstand wear and tear better than softwood. It is more resitant to insect damage and rot. Additionally, hardwood is often considered more aesthetically pleasing than softwood due to its unique grain patterns and natural colours. All natural timber products are unique and will vary in markings, colour and texture, often showing distinctive markings. Sizes are nominal and may vary. Many dimensions are rounded or approximate.

All natural timber products are unique and will vary in markings, colour and texture, often showing distinctive markings. Images may not be a true representation of a particular product size or use and may vary in line with manufactuers' changes to specification. Pressure-treated or tanalised softwood is a type of wood that has been treated with a preservative to protect it against decay, rot, and insect damage. The treatment process involves placing the wood in a pressure chamber and applying a preservative under high pressure, forcing it deep into the wood fibres. This makes the wood more resistant to moisture and insects, increasing its lifespan and making it suitable for outdoor use.Dip treated softwood is an effective way to protect wood from decay and insect damage, but it is not as durable as other types of treated wood, such as pressure-treated wood. Dip treated softwood requires regular maintenance, such as reapplying a wood preservative every few years, to ensure that it remains protected and in good condition. The ramp test (R rating) is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test value).
