Larch Timbers
80% of all the sawlogs we mill at James Carr & Sons (Sawmillers) Ltd are Larch harvested from well managed sustainable forests here in Scotland
Larch is a very attractive timber with its beautiful grain and colours. It is a dense timber which gives it good strength properties and because it contains a large amount of resin within the wood it is naturally resistant to decay and insect attack. This makes Larch the ideal choice for external uses such as
Cladding Boards
Sleepers and Raised Beds
Posts
Lawn Edging and Gravel Boards
Timber Decking Walkways and Fishing Platforms
Pergolas and other Garden structures
Sleepers and Raised Beds
The natural durability of Larch makes this timber ideal for building sleeper walls and creating raised beds where the timber is in contact with the ground.
Standard sleepers are 2400 x 200 x 100mm
In addition to offering sleepers for making raised beds we can offer cheaper alternatives such as 200 x 50mm Battens which can do the job just as well. In fact with our inhouse sawmilling facilities we are able to cut whatever sizes you require.
Larch Cladding Boards
Larch is a tough and durable timber. That, combined with its beautiful grain and colours makes it an ideal choice for exterior cladding on buildings.
James Carr & Sons (Sawmillers) Ltd are able to offer several cladding options
Larch Decking, Walkways and Fishing Platforms
James Carr & Sons (Sawmillers) Ltd are able to supply Larch for Timber Decks, Raised Walkways and Fishing Platforms including all the framing timbers required
We can supply this timber treated or untreated. When building near watercourses however we would strongly recommend that untreated Larch is used as the chemicals in timber preservatives will leach out.
Timber Battens and Joists
James Carr & Sons (Sawmillers) Ltd are able to offer a cut to order service for the timber you require. With our in house modern sawmill we are able to cut exactly what you need quickly accurately and cost effectively.
Let us know what you need and we will get it cut for you.
