SPOTTED GUM
TIMBER
FURNITURE

​

We use 19mm thick solid Spotted Gum 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.

​

Spotted gum is one of Australia’s premium native hardwoods with a striking appearance and a high degree of natural durability and strength, making it an ideal timber for outdoor tables and bench seats.

 

Spotted gum by its natural properties can endure exterior conditions. Although the timber won’t rot it will weather and grey if not coated with an appropriate exterior paint or sealer. Depending on your expectations this may lend to the finish you’re after. If exposed directly to continual rain and sun, a higher rate of weathering will occur, and
more regular maintenance and reapplication of paint or sealer will be required. Again, this weathering look may be suited to you.

 

Spotted gum furniture is ideally suited for under cover veranda or alfresco settings which
may include a bit of sun and rain. Slight weathering such as a few fine cracks and slight cupping may occur which is expected and part of the rustic look.

The required maintenance is dependent on how the timber is finished, whether painted, oiled, sealed. Please check with us what is required depending on how your purchase has been finished.
