Timber

We take great pleasure knowing our timber products are sourced from timber plantations or sustainable forests. We source timber from New South Wales and Queensland located on both Public and Private land.

These timber regions are managed by:
  • The NSW State government:                      www.business.nsw.gov.au/industry/timber/
  • Forests NSW:                                           www.business.nsw.gov.au/industry/timber/
  • The Queensland State Government:            www.dpi.qld.gov.au/forestry

We do not use imported unless it has been certified by a third party Australian organisation.
All timber coatings are non toxic and an MSDS can be supplied upon request.
All our timber can be reused, recycled or bio-degraded over time.

Steel

Steel is one of the world's most recycled products. In fact, all our steel 100 percent recyclable -which means its life cycle is potentially continuous. Steel scrap is a necessary component in the production of new steel.

The Australian steel industry has always been a good recycler. But in recent years, with growing community awareness of the benefits of recycling, the industry has made even stronger moves to reuse as much steel as possible.

Aluminium

All of our aluminium can be reused in products after its initial production. The process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminium.

Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium. For this reason, approximately 31% of all aluminium produced in the world wide comes from recycled scrap.
