How long will my macrocarpa beds last for?

Untreated macrocarpa, in contact with soil should last around 8 years

Do I need a base on my garden bed?

No, when placed on the lawn the bed does not need a base.  The water will drain through the bed to the soil below.  We recommend using a few sheets of newspaper on the ground first - don't use any nasty plastic stuff!

How long will my macrocarpa furniture last for?

Left untreated and out in the elements, macrocarpa will last 20-50 years!

Treated with an oil based coating it will last even longer

If I don’t oil or treat my table will the colour fade?

Yes.  Our tables are sold mostly untreated as most people like the natural look.  The timber will fade into a soft honey blonde colour and then to a silver grey.

Can I use a natural stain on my macrocarpa table?

Yes, for a natural stain you can use any cooking oil and rub it on.  We also sell a new organic coating, which we can courier to you, if you would like your table to look a darker honey.

Does macrocarpa crack?

Yes, all timber cracks and splits, this is normal and a natural part of weathering.  Even houses made of timber crack and it has no impact on the structural strength of the timber.  In fact weatherboard houses last over 100 years.
