Here are some popular ways to use this lightweight yet strong wood.
Framing & Structures
Structural pine can create strong roof structures and wall-framing partitions for complex buildings. It works functionally and aesthetically and is considered a sustainable solution. Other framing and load-bearing applications include floor joists and door and window openings.
Outdoor Structures

Treated pine is a good option for cabinetry and cupboards in your home, as a material that is resistant to decay and insects.
Scaffolding & Exterior Walls
Structural pine is a durable, easy-to-manage wood that doesn’t weigh much, making it ideal for temporary structures and weather-resistant exterior walls. It can also be easily assembled and dissembled, saving time and minimising stress on your building site.
