Ironbark Timber Decking

Description

A distinctive Australian hardwood, the Ironbark is well known for its hardness, strength and longevity. There are two varieties of Ironbark: grey ironbark (Eucalyptus paniculata) and red ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon). The grey ironbark is a mid-sized tree that is found along the coastal regions of New South Wales and the southern parts of Queensland. The red ironbark is most commonly found in Victoria, as well as western New South Wales and Southern Queensland.

Ironbark is known for its striking colouring, which varies depending on the region. The colour ranges from light grey and light brown through to deeper reds and browns, while the texture is moderately coarse, yet even. With an interlocking grain, it is very strong – in fact, it has a Class 1 rating in terms of strength and durability.

With a Janka rating of 14.0, it is one of the toughest hardwood timbers available. You can expect Ironbark to last for more than 40 years, and this variety if hardwood meets fire resistance requirements – meaning it doesn’t need to be treated with any additional fire retardants. Due to its unsurpassed strength, it is very popular for use in outdoor decking. It is also suitable for use in engineering construction, structural timber poles and retaining walls.

If you are looking for hardwood decking that looks fantastic and is made to last, Ironbark is an excellent choice.
