Five reasons why Scandinavian redwood is the best material for Garden Buildings

There are many different types of wood that can be used to create wooden garden buildings. Some companies insist on using cedar. Some swear by acacia, while others will opt for shorea, teak or oak.

At Chiltern Garden Buildings, we pride ourselves on using the finest redwood from the superbly managed forests of northern Scandinavia.

Here are five reasons why this highly durable timber is perfect for our garden buildings:

1.  Redwood is perfect for outdoor buildings

Redwood is the gold standard when it comes to creating luxury wooden garden buildings and furniture that’s designed to last. Scandinavian redwood is naturally resistant to moisture, making it ideal for the structures of our buildings. Not to mention that it looks incredible and feels smooth too…

2.  Redwood is incredibly resilient

Although Scandinavian redwood is a softwood, it remains one of the toughest materials used in outdoor building construction. Capable of withstanding large amounts of weight; our wooden gazebos will be standing strong through years of weather and constant use.

3.  Redwood is resistant to decay and insects

Our redwood is naturally resistant to those pesky insects. This makes it the perfect material for outdoor projects, and you can feel safe in the knowledge that with proper care, it’s unlikely that your gazebo will succumb to decay.

4.  Your furniture will boast an attractive grain and finish

Scandinavian redwood looks superb. It boasts an attractive grain and can take paint and varnish, so your finishing options are endless. But don’t just take our word for it, have a look at some of our redwood garden buildings below…

5.  Pound for pound, redwood is the best choice

Although redwood is more expensive than alternative options, we believe our customers deserve the best quality product that will stand the test of time. Because they will not suffer from decay, our bespoke redwood gazebos will remain a part of your outdoor area for as long as you want them to be there.
