Frequently Asked Questions

There is no definitive answer to this question since it ultimately depends on the specific project and your personal preferences. However, in general, merbau is considered to be a superior option to treated pine. Merbau is a hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it an ideal choice for outdoor projects. Additionally, it has a beautiful reddish-brown color that can add increased visual appeal to your project. While treated pine is also relatively durable, it may not withstand the elements as well as merbau and over time may require more maintenance. Ultimately, the best way to determine which material is right for your needs is to consult with a professional contractor or designer who can offer guidance based on your specific situation

Yes, over time merbau will turn a light grey. This is because the tannins in the wood react to UV rays from the sun, and overtime these tannins will cause the wood to turn a light grey. While this change in color may not be desirable to some people, it is a natural process that occurs with all types of wood.

As a general rule, Spotted Gum is better than merbau. It is more durable and stable, making it ideal for outdoor use in harsh environments. Additionally, Spotted Gum has a higher resistance to moisture, rot, and termites – meaning it will better withstand the elements over time. The timber’s distinctive grain patterns and Colour variation also give it added appeal.

That being said, there are certain situations where merbau may be the better option. For example, if you are looking for a timber with a reddish hue, then merbau would be a better choice – as Spotted Gum has more of a brownish tone.
