The many benefits of using Golden Cypress include its strength, durability, extremely low shrinkage, natural beauty, sustainability and termite resistance. Here are just a few reasons why you should choose Golden Cypress for your next project:
- Strong: Available in Structural Grade F7 – stronger than cypress pine
- Durable: Similar to Jarrah and River Red Gum, expect ~15+ years in-ground (NZFRI)
- Not from native forests: Unlike redgum, cypress pine*, stringybark, “Eco-Select”, etc
- Sustainable: Unlike rainforests, new plantations are being added continually
- Always available in your sizes: And – unlike recycled – no nails, checks or holes!
- Naturally termite resistant: With a naturally delightful and mildly spicy fragrance
- Ethically sourced: Only over-mature, dangerous, sick or redundant trees are harvested
- Chemical free: Unlike the toxins in treated pine for example. No glues to fail either
- Secure supply: Regulatory authorities phased out most treated pine (CCA) in 2006^
- Intrinsically beautiful: Like Kauri, lustrous and golden. Fiddleback is quite common
- Larger sections and longer lengths: For example 250×250. 6.0 meters long
- Exceptionally low shrinkage: Unbeatable 3.3% Tangentally & 1.6% Radially (C.mac)
- Locally grown and milled: Unlike oregon, merbau and cedar, which are imported
