Treatment Process

Because we harvest from our own woodland we can offer our customers the service of sawing timber to unusual lengths in the woodland and then converting the logs within the mill. Our fencing centre includes some of the latest technology equipment to make the most of the harvested timbers. Purpose designed debarking machinery ensures clean timber rounds ready for processing into a wide range of fencing products. Timbers can be machined to precise specifications through our fully automated laser guided installation, supported by more traditional band saws, ensuring the most productive and efficient use of the timber.
