MERBAU TIMBER FURNITURE
ABOUT OUR MERBAU OUTDOOR FURNITURE
We use 19mm thick solid Merbau boards for the tops with a 65mm edge trim fitted as well as steel black corner feature brackets. The legs are built from treated pine sleepers and beams which are finished with exterior grade paint.
Merbau is a popular hardwood derived largely from areas in South East Asia, Papua New Guinea, the Pacific islands, and northern Queensland. It has a high degree of natural durability and strength.
Merbau also features in backyards as outdoor furniture, and internally in a range of joinery, flooring and other uses.
The attractive yellow-orange brown hue of freshly cut heartwood deepens or reddens with ageing. The grain of merbau can vary but it is usually interlocked or wavy, with a coarse but even texture.
It will finish well with paint, stain, and polish although tanin bleed is a possibility if the timber gets wet. It is best suited for alfresco or indoor settings where it will not get wet.
