Environmental Benefits of Accoya

Accoya wood offers you an environmentally compatible, durable wood that can be used with confidence in outdoor applications and will last for many, many years. Accoya wood forms an effective barrier to insect attack; it is indigestible to microorganisms and insects and therefore more durable to wood-destroying fungi and virtually rot-proof.

The Accoya wood manufacturing process is Non Toxic and adds nothing to the wood that does not naturally occur.

Class 1 durability with a 25 year timber guarantee against rot or decay in ground contact.

Accoya is 100% environmentally friendly FSC sourced timber ideal for garden use - unlike lower cost 'treated timber'.

All the timber that we use, Oak, Accoya and Medite Tricoya Extreme panels are FSC sourced and are fully traceable

Genuine Quality Paints

We only use the highest quality, environmentally friendly water based paints exterior paint, including those from Farrow & Ball and the Little Greene Paint Company.

Each painted obelisk is hand painted with a priming undercoat and a minimum of 3 top coats in the colour of your choice. Whenever 'wood stain' has been chosen for the "paint finish" 2 or 3 coats will be applied, as required to achieve a satisfactory finish. Wood stain finish will have areas that have some translucency where the timber will show through.

All obelisks and planters are painted within our temperature controlled paint booth to ensure that the painting process is carried out within the correct temperature range, as required by the paint manufacturers guidelines.
