Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas Fir:
The Perfect Choice for Building your Outdoor Structures this Summer

As the warm months of summer approach, our thoughts naturally turn to outdoor living spaces and the various structures that can enhance our enjoyment of the season. Gazebos, trellises, lath houses, and greenhouses are just a few examples of outdoor structures that can provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal. When choosing materials for these projects, Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir stands out as a superior option, combining natural beauty with exceptional durability.

Benefits of Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir for outdoor structures

1. Durability and Longevity
One of the primary advantages of using Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir for outdoor structures is its enhanced durability. The treatment process significantly extends the wood's lifespan by protecting it from rot, fungal decay, and termite damage. This makes it an excellent choice for structures exposed to the elements, ensuring they remain sturdy and reliable for many years.

2. Natural Beauty
Douglas fir is renowned for its attractive grain patterns and warm, reddish-brown color. The preservation process does not affect these aesthetic qualities, but instead allows the wood to retain its natural beauty. This makes Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir an ideal material for structures where appearance is just as important as functionality, such as gazebos and trellises.

3. Environmental Friendliness
Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir is an environmentally sound choice. The preservatives used in the treating process are approved for residential use and are designed to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, Douglas fir is a renewable resource, and responsible forestry practices ensure that its use supports sustainable forest management.

4. Versatility
Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood made with Douglas fir is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of outdoor applications. Its strength and stability make it suitable for large structures such as gazebos and greenhouses, while its natural beauty and workability make it perfect for decorative elements like trellises and lath houses.

To maximize the longevity and beauty of your Wolmanized® Outdoor® Wood structures made with Douglas fir, regular maintenance is essential. Here are a few tips:

Sealing: Apply a water-repellent sealant to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage. This should be done periodically, depending on your climate and exposure conditions.
Cleaning: Keep the wood clean by regularly removing dirt, debris, and mildew. A mild detergent and water solution can be used for this purpose.
Inspection: Regularly inspect your structures for any signs of wear or damage and make necessary repairs promptly to prevent further issues.
