Where our timber comes from

All of the timber that we are using in production has been generously donated by BSW (British Soft Wood), the largest sawmilling business in the UK, and is grown right here on home soil.

The species of soft wood that we are using is Larch, a tree that produces timber of a strong, durable nature, resistant to decay and insect or fungal attacks. Larch is a particularly healthy choice of timber because it requires no extra chemicals to prevent it from rotting. Opting to use locally sourced timber, rather than concrete blocks, means that considerably less energy has been used in the production of our building materials than is sometimes the case with similar projects.
