In South Africa, you need to use very specific building materials due to the wide range of weather patterns all over the land. CCA wood building materials will always be your go-to solution when looking for wood to use in construction. It not only protects the wood from harsh weather conditions, but also against most insects that could possibly inflict damage to a construction.

Do you want to know more about the CCA Treatment Process? You can read more about it in our previous blog post.

Why use Eucalyptus wood building materials?

We’re all familiar with the products that the Eucalyptus tree brings us, like essential oil and of course a natural habitat for Koala’s in Australia (Where the Eucalyptus tree are originally from). But lately, Eucalyptus has been used for structural purposes due to the massive benefits it consists of.

So what are the benefits you ask?

• Provides structural support for buildings as Eucalyptus is classified as a hardwood.
• Eucalyptus is available in a variety of sizes.
• It can be CCA Treated to prevent insect and weather damage to your wood.
• It’s sustainable, versatile, beautiful, and gives a natural finish to any project.

Eucalyptus timber has been used for hundreds of years for many things (Even to carve out didgeridoo by native Australians).  But for now, we want to talk about the timber as a building material in South Africa, which leads to our next topic…
