Frequently asked questions

Is Douglas fir durable?

Douglas fir has durability class 3 and lasts 10–15 years untreated. With a quality oil or stain that extends to 20+ years.

Can I use Douglas fir for a veranda?

Absolutely. Douglas fir is the most popular timber for verandas and pergolas thanks to its excellent price-to-quality ratio.

How do I maintain Douglas fir?

To preserve its warm colour, treat Douglas fir annually with a UV-resistant wood oil. Left untreated the timber will naturally weather to a silver-grey, but remains structurally sound. Remove moss and algae with a soft brush and green soap.

What is the difference between planed and rough-sawn Douglas fir?

Planed Douglas fir has a smooth finish and is used for visible surfaces such as veranda posts and cladding. Rough-sawn Douglas fir is more affordable and suited to hidden structural members like purlins and rafters.
