Merbau is a very popular hardwood used for most decking and screening projects across Australia. It is a timber that is vibrant in colour and has exceptional durability. The timber does have resinous properties that you should be aware of before choosing this profile, the resin can run off the timber and stain concrete footings. Our Flat Screening Is Made With 8mm Spacing Between Each Paling.
We recommend asking about our staining service so you dont need to worry about having the panels leaching. We recommend using Cutek CD 50 to stain over the Merbau which will also help protect the timber and enhance the durability of the product.
Construction
The Panels We Make Are Made From 42mm X 19mm Solid Merbau
We Have Backing Supports Spaced At Approx. Every 500mm Centres To Ensure That The Panels Don’t Twist. If You Build A Screening Section And Leave Too Wide Distance Between Supports Then You Run The Risk Of Having The Panels Warp.
There Is A Standard Gap Of Approx 8mm Between Slats Making The Screen Both Pool Compliant And REScode Compliant
When Constructing The Panels We Use 32mm Galvanized Screws In Each Join So The Panel Is Firmly Secure And Is Set To Last 20-25 Years.
