Landscaping And Cladding Timber

Landscaping and cladding timber used for gardens, outdoor structures, and visible finishes where durability, appearance, and fit matter.

Landscaping And Cladding Timber Products


This category brings together timber products used to shape outdoor spaces and create finished surfaces, rather than form part of a building’s primary structure. These products are selected for how they look, how they weather, and how they perform once installed, making them ideal for gardens, landscaping projects, and external cladding.

 

What Landscaping And Cladding Timber Is Used For

Timber in this category is used where appearance, surface finish, and long-term outdoor performance are the priority. Typical applications include:

  • Garden decking and outdoor seating areas
  • Timber cladding on sheds, outbuildings, and garden rooms
  • Raised beds, retaining features, and landscaping structures
  • Screening, edging, and decorative outdoor projects
  • Heavy-duty utility timber for non-structural use

These products are not internal framing timber and are not intended for load-bearing construction.

 

Timber Types in This Category Explained

Although grouped together by use, each product type serves a different landscaping or cladding role.

Decking Boards

Decking boards are designed to create durable, walkable outdoor surfaces. They are selected for weather resistance, surface grip, and consistent sizing, making them suitable for patios, terraces, and garden seating areas.

Tongue & Groove Cladding

Tongue and groove boards are used for external cladding and internal lining where a tight joint and clean finish are required. The interlocking profile improves weather resistance and creates a neat, continuous surface on sheds, garden buildings, and feature walls.

Timber Sleepers

Sleepers are heavy-section timbers used to define levels and form solid landscaping features. They are commonly used for raised beds, retaining edges, steps, and garden structures where mass and ground contact durability are required.

Scaffold Boards (Non-Structural Use)

Scaffold boards in this category are supplied for general landscaping and utility use, such as benching, steps, edging, and heavy-duty outdoor projects. They are not structural or load-bearing components and are selected for width and practicality rather than certification.

 

Why Landscaping And Cladding Timber Needs the Right Specification

Timber used outdoors is exposed to:

  • Rain, moisture, and ground contact
  • UV exposure and temperature changes
  • Wear from foot traffic or regular use

Using timber not suited to these conditions can result in rapid weathering, movement, or decay. Products in this category are chosen specifically for external performance and visible use, not internal structural roles.
