What wood is used to make WoodBlocX and where does it come from?

Garden Ponds Designs, Building Raised Beds, Terracing, Garde...
WoodBlocX is made from Scottish or Latvian pine. Pine is strong and very durable when pressure treated, and it tends not to warp so much when it dries.

Where does the wood come from?

Frequently Asked Questions
The wood we salvage comes primarily from 19th-century industrial buildings and barns in the northeast. The vast majority of these buildings no longer meet contemporary building codes and are impractical for modern businesses to occupy. In many cases they represent a liability to their owners and the communities around them. Sometimes our material comes from odd places. We have resawn water tanks, pickle vats, huge doors, tobacco poles, crane mats, pilings and barges, to name a few.

What is used to make wood pellets?

Pellets are 100% natural and are made from recycled sawdust. They have no additives, chemicals or perfumes. Therefore, we’re helping the environment by recycling sawdust and eliminating the need for new trees to be cut down simply to chop wood.

How long does a WoodBlocX structure last?

Garden Ponds Designs, Building Raised Beds, Terracing, Garde...
WoodBlocX is pressure treated with Tanalith E, a water based preservative which fixes in the cells of the timber when it dries. The wood is dried in a vacuum and then pressurised to 300 psi. If you cut a piece of WoodBlocX in half you will find that the preservative has penetrated virtually 100% of the wood. This means that WoodBlocX will last for 20 years and possibly longer, depending upon the ground conditions.

Should I varnish WoodBlocX?

Garden Ponds Designs, Building Raised Beds, Terracing, Garde...
Don't varnish WoodBlocX. Water will get under the varnish and turn it black within a year. Unless you want to treat it like a boat and varnish it every year! Do paint WoodBlocX with any exterior wood paint if you want it coloured, or just leave it natural. The natural green colour will last for several years before fading to a grey. You can always paint it later when this occurs.
